Update on Elaine
Obviously she had been RHAPAW (rode hard and put away wet) many times.
Yes, at least the light still works.

Lots of road rash, more than just pin rash.

Thread nest in and around the bobbin case, wrong bobbin

Some of the dust, lint and trash including half of a sewing machine needle
I did replace the bent needle, cleaned out and de-linted as much as possible. She is still making birdnests around the bobbin case. This one has me baffled a bit. Anyone here who has repaired/refurbished an Elna SU? Can't find much on the Internet other than the bobbin case is quite spendy if it needs replacing.
