Elna lotus SP (35)

In excellent condition, sews like new, looks very good. 

Be the envy of your quilting class!!

This machine is strong, light, very portable, all-round, durable and has a design that is so iconic, that a similar machine ended up in the Museum of Modern Art (see below). Have look at a video where the famous sewing machine guru Alex Askaroff reviews the Elna 35:

Produced in 1972.

This Elna SP can do the following stitches: straight, zigzag, edging, button hole (the controls have button-hole options ), darning and blind-stitch.

Sewing and general information:

It has had little use and is in an excellent condition. The machine sews and sounds very smooth. It is strong and makes very beautiful, even and balanced stitches.

(UK buyers: The machine will be delivered with a plug adapter for the British standard, so you can start sewing right away with no trouble!)

This is a perfect quilting machine . Light, portable, strong, with all necessary stitches, compact and sturdy. In my opinion far superior to the Singer Featherweight.

Size and portability:

The machine has the following measurements: l x w x h:  12 x 5 x 9,5 inch or 30 x 12 x 24 cm. Because of its compact design and relatively light weight, the machine has excellent portability and is ideal to be taken to sewing courses. Because of the handy storage-compartment on top of the machine, you'll have the most needed utensils already with you. It is my hobby to restore good quality sewing machines and give them a second life. The following has been done:

  • motor and foot-control have been cleaned and tuned

  • the machine has been cleaned inside and out and thoroughly oiled and greased
  • the upper tensioner and bobbin case have been cleaned and fine tuned to the correct basis-tension
  • the timing has been checked
  • The machine was checked for electrical safety with an meg-ohm test: 2,8GOhm, which is superb.
Now, you can enjoy this little gem!

Attachments/Equipment:

Comes with an EU and UK mains-plug. This Elna has most of the attachments and parts. It comes with 2 zigzag-feet (1 transparent, 1 steel) and a darning-foot. Also has the very rare transporter-cover plate (or feed-dog cover plate) for darning. It comes with  a mini screw-driver, a  seam-cutter, 2  bobbins and a new set of needles. I recommend to use a new needle when you start using this machine. I have a digital copy of the English manual, which I can send you on request, free of charge.

IMPORTANT : When these machines are put into storage the dial under the flywheel should always be in the '0' position, to keep the drive wheel of both motor and bobbin-winder in optimal shape. 

Design:

These machines were made in Switzerland and are well know for their iconic and smart design by the famous Raymond Loewy , the father of industrial design. He also designed the greyhound bus, the Coca-Cola bottle, the Lucky Strike logo, the Shell logo and made many more famous designs. This and it's brilliant engineering has earned this machine a place in the Museum of Modern Art in New-York.

The Elna is made of cast-aluminium, which gives it strength and stiffness whilst at the same time little weight. The bearings are made of Phosphor-bronze, the best bearing material one can wish for.

American buyers: Please be aware that this is a 220 Volt machine. This is no problem at all if you use a small transformer (about $25). For instance a "110V to 220V STEP Up/Down VOLTAGE CONVERTER 150W Watt TRANSFORMER TRAVEL ", of a range that is available at Ebay USA. Cheap, extremely simple in use, just like a travelling plug-adapter. The converter is NOT included. The Elna is 65 Watts. You can just plug it in the converter and start sewing. If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to ask!

Various, packing, delivery & duties:

This machine is technically and electrically fully in order. The buyer will, upon the purchase of the machine, accept full responsibility for the safe and correct use of the machine, including the choice and use of the converter (if needed).   Packing. Some buyers have understandable worries about damaging these precious machines during transport. I have shipped quite some machines by now and not one was damaged. Of course it can never be wholly prevented. Firstly, these machines have a very hard shell made of thick cast-aluminum and rather thick plate steel. These materials were chosen because it is in fact a machine made to be carried around. The more vulnerable inside is therefore very well shielded. I double-box the machine and see to it that it is well protected inside and out and cannot move in the box.  The box is very well closed with tape in 3 directions. The invoice for the customs (if needed) is securely attached in a plastic envelope on the outside of this box. The package is insured against damage. Delivery time can vary from 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the country you live in. I use DHL as shipping-company, which comes out the tests as the best or one of the best. Countries in Europe will take about 1 to 2 weeks (but sometimes less or longer depending the local shipper), to the USA it can take 2,5 weeks (New York for instance) to 5 weeks (Hawaii for instance). More exotic countries may take even longer. It is my experience that the track-and-trace technology is far from perfect. All shipments will have track-and-trace, but sometimes the track-and-trace fails, though this does not affect correct delivery . Until now all my shipments were delivered correctly, even with sometimes failed T&T. I kindly ask you to please take this into account as you buy this machine and to give your feedback on my efforts and not the shipping company's. If you live outside the EU Customs Union or if applicable: Buyers are responsible for the payment of possible import-duties, - fees and taxes. The machine will be sent with the correct papers for import. Any costs occurring during or caused by the import-process are for the buyer. Upon buying this machine, the buyer agrees to this and the other conditions stated in this auction.

 Additional Terms and Conditions:

Not suitable for pets or young children; seller takes no responsibility for harm resulting from misuse!

International shipments: the items are insured, which is standard with parcel-shipping by Deutsche Post/DHL.  If damaged, stolen or lost in transit the insurance should cover this. However, I can not guarantee payment by the insurance-company. Any losses caused by the insurance not paying and/or covering such events are at the expense of the buyer.

This is a private auction, guarantee is not applicable.
