If it runs and stitches it's a good price. Luckily it takes general low shank feet. The bobbins are preferable Elna original, because of the curved sides and they are a bit taller than class 66. My Supermatic seem to handle class 66 reasonably well though. I only have 6 original Elna bobbins, I can live with it, but want a few more. Don't use class 15, the are too tall and flat sided (will interfere with the bobbin tension spring), the flat sides can damage the plastic part in the bobbin case and doesn't turn as smoothly. I haven't had my hands on the flat bed version you have. Yours looks like it doesn't take cams, from the picture I can't see any lid covering the Elnagraph. Some SU models only had a few built in stitches in addition to zigzag.
