The older Elna machines are workhorses and keepers. I have two Air Electronics which work the same as the 62. Hubby bought the first one ( paid a good price for it) back in the 70's.) I recently found another one thinking it would be good for parts, but it works as well as the first. My repairman told me to "Never part with either of them"as they are metal ( yes, heavy) and were made with Swiss mechanical expertise. A friend was given a Jubilee model, and after cleaning it up, she says she loves it. Treat it well and it will last many more years.
