i would like you all to meet my aunt elna! she was carefully driven to colorado from utah. a dear friend from high school sent her to me. "elna" came to sandy on accident. she ordered a trainset on ebay for her granddaughter, and received this instead. "elna" is a pretty humble old gal...no power cord, instruction book, bobbin, etc. she was happy that i had some vintage notion to keep her company...

I have an Elna that my Mother bought in 1965.
Still works good and I like many things about it.
What an odd looking design this Elna is! Very Swedish/minimalist?
