Just wanted to say that I want an older Elna very badly. There is a second hand store in town that sells old machines that have been restored and she has an Elna I want. She wouldn't tell me the price last time I was in there, so I couldn't decide if I could afford it or not, but maybe if I return again, she might have figured out what price to sell it for. Hope you get yours fixed. Wish I had one!!!
