Lesson learned.....
I have the merit badge for taking one or two apart and never getting them to work too... That Elna of mine is a prime example. Oh well. Yeah it is fun isn't it... I learned a few things - did you? Hope your mistakes were cheaper than mine... But you know if mine had stayed working or gotten fixed I doubt if I would have ever learned what I know now about sewing machine repairs and sewing machines in general. I learn a lot from everyone on this board. I'm so grateful to have kindred folk to talk to every day. None around here. I wish I could just give you all a big hug.
