An overview of one of the most beautiful sewing machines ever produced. It's in the museum of modern art. This machine has the bobbin winder removed for repair. Will post repair video. Before buying one of these machines confirm bobbin winder operation and general working. Plastic gears were ahead of their time. Unfortunately they did not hold up to daily use. This one has all the gears working but not the bobbin winder.

John, I'm curious about the motor - are there lube ports for it? Or is it one of those encased motors that's "lubed for life"?

Stephanie Yu-Falkenstein I did not notice any lube ports on the motor nor did I see it mentioned in the manual whice I found in the files on the FB group Vintage Elnas. Sorry for the delay in responding.

Thanks for letting me know! I'm in that group too, but never have I come across a discussion about the motor. Working on a Grasshopper now. Cheers!

Thanks for your request Carol. Let's see what happens. I do have the machine with me I'm away from home during the lockdown and that's a good thing as I'm with family. If phone has enough memory and the creek don't rise I get one finished. A little warning: I just broke the piece of plastic that holds the pin for the spool of thread. Not sure how it happened. The plastics on this machine are a bit sensitive . Take care.

How do I oil it

Julie, thanks for watching. Here's how I went about it. Take off side piece w/out the crank. Have a container like a muffin tin or old egg carton to group the screws as you remove them. Save a lot of time later. Then remove the trey holding all the goodies up top. Take your time. All the screws are visible. Yahoo. Now turn the hand wheel and watch. Turn some more and watch. Anyplace there is a joint like a knee or elbow you put one or two drops of oil. Must be sewing machine oil or Triflow. Flip the machine so you can remove the bottom and repeat. You should place the machine on cardboard or newspaper. A towel will keep screws from rolling away of they escape. I think I found the manual for this one on manualslib.com. I'm not sure if that's the right address so look up free manuals and the address will come up. Good luvk

One of the reasons we come to these videos is to see how something is taken apart, fixed, and reassembled. 1:06 - Show us how you took the top apart. Looks easy but there is a spring clip in front, and I think mine is broken. Please don't skip a step. You showed us absolutely nothing in this very short video.
