Default Elna Carina Model 65 Air Electronic

I bought this one today. It's mostly metal and made in the early 80's. It's one of the last models Elna made in Switzerland. I spent a few hours working on it. There are only a few
problems with it. 1) it has one broken spool holder and it can't be repaired
easily. The actual material on the on the inside of the lid is damaged. But, I was able to repair
one spool holder, so I'm good to go. There were no accessories in the tray, but
I have quite a few from my Supermatics so am good to go. The case on it has a
slight break on the back so it doesn't latch well, so I have to use a bungee
cord to keep it shut:> And the bobbin extractor is missing.

But, it came with all 18 cams, cord and foot control and sews beautifully. I'm
impressed with it!

Anyone have this model?
