Got the top off. Beautiful under the hood! Almost pristine except for the base of cams has some rust spots that I have cleaned off since picture taken. Looks like never used. There was a bunch of netting sort of material all in the bobbin area and around feed dogs; wonder if original owner did this early on and thought the machine was working right and then years later passed onto neice?? Who knows, but it looks like all is well. Uh, except for the needle position wheel, which may have a small crack. With time and patience it does move now but not without effort. Makes me think it tipped over sometime in its life and landed on this little wheel and jammed it. Underneath is clean, clean, clean also. We found some more red holes for oil and manually the needle was moving much better. Thus we plugged in again and my, oh, my. This baby does not need servicing! Cleaned the cabinet up and in good to excellent condition. I just am in awe. Check out the belt in the picture; flat nylon (?) with metal bands that fit in gear-like slots.

And, Just realized the sewing store/dealer twenty miles away is......drumroll........an Elna dealer and service center!
