One of my colleagues has an Elna Contessa 400. Elna Contessa's are not exactly my favourite machines but that does have something to do with the fact that ours has a 'pot' metal part, which has disintegrated leaving the machine useless. This one had a seized bobbin-winder and to be honest, I suspected the worst and thought it too, would disintegrate on me.
With plenty of oil and a lot of nail bitingly brutal force however, it freed up and is now working fine. Originally my colleague wanted me to sell it and get her another but on my advice decided to keep the Elna when the bobbin-winder was freed. From what I could see this machine had metal cams and gears and was in very good condition, although very dry. I told her that she would not find a modern machine with either of those attributes. I'm an Australian lady who loves sewing machines, sewing and photography. Many of the sewing machines shown, discussed and used on these pages are from my collection, which is now over 30 machines strong! In my day-to-day life I am a volunteer dogsbody and a student.
This blog will focus on all three of my listed interests but there will definitely be off topic things as well! I will happily answer any sewing machine enquiries that I can, email me at. Please do not re-use any of the images shown here without my permission.
Filter I bought this Hoover a few years ago-- just now about to use it first time. I cannot find my user's manual and don't know how to change the filter-- or to clean it or whatever I am supposed to do with it. Also, there is a handle on one side of the unit that seems to be attached to an empty chamber or canister kind of thing. It looks like it should pull out, but it does not budge. I really would like to have a manual, but can't seem to find one. Is there a similar model that is still This is not for the exact same model, but should help you out: 015 012http://edge.maytag.com/epipubs/56511B47.PDF. Elna Top 300 sewing machine.
I need manual to operate this machine. I have already found out that Elna contracted with Tiwan(excuse my spelling) to make there machine between 1989-1991. I want to know which machine made in Switzerland is comperable to this one. Thanks.Audrey Sorry about the catagory.but you do not have sewing machine on list.
Isoj: 015 012 015 012I have this machine. I use it for my heavy sewing, as it will go through anything. I would be happy to copy the manual and send it to you for copy costs.
Just let me know. I would love to know what knowledge you h.
Sewing machine Guru needed;) Elna Grasshopper (new to me) circa 1950 The light works, but there was no hummm when knee pedal engaged. I have the motor out, and it is very stiff to turn. I'm at a total loss when it comes to motors and electricity.
It doesn't smell burned, doesn't smell at all beyond normal machine smells. (Yes, I made detailed notes and diagrams as I took said motor out!) One other note. The long thing which my husband said might be a capacitor -- it looks like I just purchased a fairly tidy Elna 'Grasshopper' sewing machine (1951) with the same leaking capacitor problem. I carefully removed the capacitor for examination. It is actually three capacitors in one - no chance of a direct modern replacement, but.
I need to replace the cord on an older Hoover upright, model S660, about 1986 vintage. The cord broke where it enters handle. Handle comes apart easily. Just not sure how to pop the switch out without breaking it. Was looking for a manual online to see parts diagram and/or instruction on disassembly and cant seem to find one for that old of vacuum.
Those vacuums are worth fixing. I loved them. They would **** the carpet off of the floor!
Those cords aren't hard to replace.just remember the way you got the old one out. I have a Electrolux, EL6988 Canister Vacum, howeveer the brushes and motor will not run when turned on. I have take the plates and cleaned around the brushes, but it will not come one. The vacum comes on but the motorized bushes do not activate. Thanks I have lost my owners manual, and have looked for the reset button and can't find or know where it is located. Any suggestions. I need the molded wire harness inside the plastic wand ( one of the prongs is broke off) What is the part # or where can I buy it?
Model EL6988.
