My 1st purchased machine was the Elna SU62. It took a lot of abuse, traveled to a number of states with me and never gave me a stick of problems. I can't remember if I ever oiled it if its one that needed it and it never, never saw the inside of a repair shop. When I sold it I realized I made a mistake doing so and tried to buy it back at twice the price. New owner wouldn't budge. My loss. Also mine didn't come with all yours came with, only the double cams, 2 books. Bought mine used in 1977-8 for $1,000. When I went looking for another one on Ebay at the time they were going for around $400+ which was over my price range at the time. This was back in 2000 too. I still occasionally look on Ebay for one just to see what they're going for but its been awhile since I last looked. Might take a peek today now that you brought it up.
