No power in Elna SU sewing machine , how can i fix it?
Hi,
please ensure that the power outlet in your new home is providing energy with the same voltage and current that your old house provided. This might not be the case if you moved to a different country. You would need to find an adapter to adjust the voltage and current. If this is not the case, then you might need to reach out to your manufacturer to ask them to recommend the closest repair technician to your location.
Thank you.
Older Elna machine-black stitch discs, how do I
These discs are either single or double discs, the doubles give forwards and backwards movement by the feed dogs moving the fabric as well as side to side movement of the needle. This gives you the "Supermatic" stitches, revolutionary in 1952 when Elna developed this technology. I'm assuming that you have a Supermatic (green) or Star Series SU (white with blue top) Elna model? your model will have a code number on the side plate by the power point, it may be 62 if its a Star, there is some variation in how you select the automatic stitches between these models but the basics are similar. Start first by turning the stitch width selector to zero and stitch length selector to zero.You need to insert the disc into the Elnagraph carefully, lining up the dot marking on the disc with the finger within the elnagraph, there is a little hole underside of the disc where this finger goes into to lock the disc in place. You now turn the stitch selector to "A" for automatic, and turn the stitch width to 4. Always turn your dials back to zero before removing the disc as there is a little feeler that swings over to "read" off the disc and you won't want to damage this.The very early Elna supermatic take a slightly different disc, the finger hole is slightly different to the later machines and they were removed using a little tool. Later models it got easier and you push the middle of the elnagraph silver ring to release the disc.I hope I haven't confused you more, you may want to join the Swiss Elna user group called Elna Heirlooms under yahoo.com groups, its a very helpful group of members and you should find a thread on these machines there.
