DD who was going to take it to be repaired managed that.
I have the Elna back though. I can't seem to work my nerve up to do all she needs. I have a service manual but I don't have all the tools. I found another Elna cheap that does work. The disaster is now just a back up for parts. so sad. so embarrassing what a shame.
The paint may just come off with your fingernail. The one I bought to replace the disaster did. Green paint everywhere - still some on the cord. It was why it was cheap. It works like a champ. The disks could cost a pile of money - I truly love mine. The accessories are low shank. Bobbins cost a fortune. They are domed on one side and flat on the other with holes - be sure to use them - she will be happier. I would give $60 actually if it has all the parts but start at $10... I paid $30 (asking price) for mine. I was walking on air.
