Elna 3 Zig Zag 220v questions
I just got my first Elna! I have been saying I would hold out for a pretty green supermatic with all the fixings, but prices keep going up and up for vintage machines. So I snagged this brown machine at local Goodwill for less than $20.

I have two questions:
1) it is 220v and came with a voltage transformer, but looking at it I think it is a step up instead of step down for using 220v when in US. The transformer says "voltage input 220". If I'm right and this is the wrong transformer, would it ruin the motor if this machine was plugged in and turned on?[ATTACH=CONFIG]594199[/ATTACH]and the plug looks a little funky to plug into a proper transformer[ATTACH=CONFIG]594200[/ATTACH].
2) any suggestions of where to get a manual? I can't seem to get approval for the elna yahoo group even though they sent an email. Maybe because of the oath change thing. I havent found a link that works in my searches so far.
This machine does not appear to have the problematic rubber friction wheel but instead has a metal clear fabric belt like you see in a Pfaff. If I am correct, have you seen that in other Elnas?
