    Awesome video, I just got one of those machines in a flea market for $5 dollars and it runs like a champ 👍

    Hey I have an Elna 3003, do you what year this machine was brought out?

    You missed several oil spots... not good for the machine. I learned to sew on my Granny's, 1952 solid dark green Elna, I have a 1954 Tan Supermatic.

    Never use 3 in 1 oil ! Should be 00 oil , gumes up after time pain to overhaul

      What is 00 oil? I tried searching it on Amazon and got lost!
      Also, my Elna Supermatic still has a horrible grinding sound after oiling it. What should I do?

      Stephanie Heu 00 is the weight and quality of fine oil like used in a watch or clock mech
      Singer stores have white or clear fine oil too

    3-in-1 is TERRIBLE for sewing machines. This is the worst advice on the internet. Only sewing machine oil should be used. 3-in-1 will gum it up. The grinding sound is probably due to a flat spot on the friction drive pulley-- it goes flat when the machine sits unused.

    That model was late 50’s. Into 60’s , solid green was early 50’s . Beige was next version . Please save yourself some grief don’t use 3 in 1 oil , oil should be clear and very lite grade 00 . Singer stores have good oil . This is a full rotary bobin so is very smooth running . All Swiss Made units were quality . Not anymore .
