First I am the one who eluded to it as "rubbish" and you in attempting to
prove your point proved ours. I guess you did not read your first post
stating that Elna had owned them at some point. Pure and utter rubbish.

> In 1997 the SINGER/PFAFF-concern was created through the takeover of

>> Old Pfaff Pforum is a good place to ask for a manual.
