Hi! Congratulations on your old Elna! I just love old sewing machines; they are so solid and reliable.
(Unless of course you're getting a big bird's nest with the bobbin thread, right? That's so frustrating!)
With my old machines, I've found that a tiny bit of thread caught in the bobbin assembly can cause these nasty tangles. I use a bright flashlight and a pair of tweezers and just keep looking until I find it. While you're in there, clean out any old lint or gunk (meaning, old oil) you find. Brush all the lint out. I use a q-tip moistened with a bit of WD-40 to clean the gunk (but be careful that the fuzz from the q-tip doesn't come off while you're cleaning). With the WD-40, you have to be very careful not to get any of it on the surface of the machine--it can mess up some of those beautiful old finishes.
So clean the bobbin area, make sure you're threading the bobbin correctly, and lastly, if you hold the tails of the top and bobbin threads snugly in your left hand behind the needle while you take the first few stitches, the birds' nests should be a thing of the past.
Let me know if this works, ok?
Happy Sewing!

Have you cleaned and oiled the bobbin holder area firstly? brush out the bobbin holder area removing all the lint with a small brush. Then add a drop of good quality sewing machine oil right in the middle of the bobbin holder and run the motor for a few seconds to spread it. There is also a little black piece of metal just to the right under the bobbin holder and you should be able to see this moving during stitch formation, give this a drop of oil too. And change the needle.
If the machine still sounds noisy after this and it definitely sounds like its coming from the engine then it could be a worn hook or pinion gear. You should be able to source these parts still or find a dealer who will do this for you and replace them.
If you are in the USA try www.whitesewingcenter.com for spare parts and advice on Swiss Elna repairs.
On the Stella, you should be able to remove the top cover/accessory holder tray fairly easily to get a look into the gear area, just open the accessory flap, take out all the loose accessories and you will see four screws, one at each corner, plus one near the moveable thread eye close to the tension device. Unscrew each one a bit at a time, until you can remove them. And just loosen off the fifth one a bit, until the tray can lift out. Now manually turn the flywheel towards you and check out where the noise is coming from.

I've always taken my Elna to a trained technician for anything more involved than basic cleaning as I am happy to pay the $ for their experience with these great Swiss machines and they are very compact inside. But this info may help you to at least identify where the noise is coming from.
Testimonial: "I was very impressed that you knew who to contact, and where to look at the service manual. I will talk to Mr. White soon, when things calm down in h"
SOURCE: need repair manual for elna tsp. or info to repair
I would suggest that you join the Yahoo newsgroup called "Elna Heirlooms" then check out their "Files", one of the members may have this item scanned there for members to refer to. If not, there are some really experienced members too who may be able to help you with information on how to do this repair. But you'll need to specify which TSP, Elna made a TSP in the Star Series, and Stella air electronic and the bill air electronics too. Your side panel will have the model 2 digit number so just include that when you ask for help on Yahoo.
SOURCE: elna tsp air electronic 58 will not zig zag stitch
Firstly will it sew any stitches that require the needle to swing from side to side? the serpentine stitch or blind hem stitch?
As this machine is now 20+ years old (but a beautifully made Swiss Elna, don't junk it) I must ask firstly has it had a full service recently?
What can happen with these (and many machines if left for a bit) is that the needle bar bearings will sieze up and the needle won't swing from side to side. It can certainly be fixed if this is the case, I've done it with a TSP and a SU Air Electronic machine.
Other possibility is that the spring that pulls the neeld bar back to position may have broken. Check this as follows. Set stitch width dial to 4, stitch selector to zig zag and press the needle bar to the right, place your finger high on the bar, not down on the needle itself. If it moves to the right freely, then release it and it should move back to centre itself if the spring is there.
If the bar does spring back slowly and the machine hasn't been serviced for some time; then good chance its the bearings. You may want to take it for a full service as a technician can check out the timing also as well as giving it a full clean and lube internally.
