I just noticed my post got a bit warped for some reason. I was mentioning I had my eye set on a few extras like cams, an attachment with a cutting blade for edging, and just a simple overcast foot. I hope they will line up rigth with needle and feed dogs. If you are up for the job, there are details and help to be found on the Elna Yahoo group for picking appart the Elnagraph. I so hope it's not needed on mine, and to start with I would assume all it needs is oil and a bit of running in. I haven't looged in to Yahoo in ages, but one of the expert repair guys there compares the sound from the Supermatic to a blender, maybe similar, but my blender comes out as the noisier of the two. Once I had assured my self what's normal for a Supermatic to sound like I haven't had any complaints on it.
QuiltnLady1; I think some repair guys too easily dismiss the posibility for repair. I really can't say anything particular for your case of course, but there are only a few parts that tend to need replacment in the Supermatic versions of the Elnagraph. It's often about finding the right repair guy, and maybe tracking down replacement parts ourself.
