This might have been a school machine. I had four such cabinets housing the Elnas in my classroom in the 80's. If so, this might explain the "rode hard and put up wet" condition, as well as the star marking under the handwheel. Have fun getting her working up to potential. I wish I still had the two Elna 62's. They were awesome smooth-running machines. I ditto a previous comment about one little thread in the bobbin case making them unhappy! I replaced them because students had such trouble with the birdsnests.
