Don't know the model, just know it's old. I knew it came from the Elna family as the box cleared had ELNA on it. Hopefully she'll take my suggestion and take a whirl with it. Can't hurt since it was free. It's still wrapped up in it's original wrappings no less.
I also knew Elna and Janome came together too as Brother and Babylock, Pfaff and Viking plus Singer.
Thanks all for the info. She may have a diamond of a machine and not even know it.
