Elna 2007 service instructions
These machines are mechanical and electrical computerized wonders. Unless you are a trained certified Technician, I don't suggest you try yo make repairs yourself. There are also many special tools and bit tips that may be required to remove the case...
Please, take it to a proper sewing machine repair shop with experienced technicians.
Cheers,

I inherited my mother's Elna Lotus SP sewing
Hi Jeanne, you might want to check out my tip on early Swiss Elnas,
http://www.fixya.com/support/r10602655-acquired_early_swiss_elna_sewingit should help you get the Lotus going. Lovely machine. If you are in the USA you may also want to contact White Sewing Center as he may have this manual available for sale or a copy of it. www.whitesewingcenter.com.Remember to use the Elna 7 hole dished metal bobbins, there are 7 holes on the top, and looks like this
Always wind it and insert it into the machine this way. Don't use any other bobbin. Standard needles 130/705H, flat shank to the back.Check out my other tip on bobbin winding too, it is important to keep tension onto the thread spool that you are winding thread off as the machine doesn't tension the thread for you. So you need to apply pressure to the top of the thread spool as you wind off, use the curved handle of your scissors on the top of the spool.Feel free to connect to me and ask if you have any other questions, I have a Lotus TSP at home and its almost identical to the SP. Happy stitching.

Elna SU buttonhole- I can't remember the order to
sure, put on the buttonhole foot after
putting a button into it and using the screw knob to set the length you want.
Turn stitch length knob and stitch width
knobs to zero, (always set them to zero first to avoid wear on the stitch
selection mechanisim) then turn the left stitch selector knob to the blue
button hole symbol. Now turn middle knob stitch width, to the blue
buttonhole symbol. Now turn right knob stitch length to blue 1, sew down
the first side of your buttonhole until foot slide in the buttonhole foot
reaches end stop. raise needle and turn stitch length to blue 2, and sew
three bar tacks across buttonhole. Again, raise needle and then turn stitch
length to blue 3 and sew back down otherside of buttonhole until you reach the
end stop. Needle up, turn length know to blue 4 and sew three bartacks to
end. there is a last blue symbol dot on stitch length knob, this will sew
a stitch in place to tie off the ends. Raise pressure foot, remove your
work and draw top threads to underside with a needle, and tie off or use a dot
of fray stop. Done! if you don't have a manual you could email me and
I'll send you a copy of mine, tallygirl98 at yahoo dot com.

What make of walking foot
You need a low shank style walking foot. Even back in the 80's when your SU air electronic was new, the walking foot sold by Elna was an after market one, and not made by Tavaro. Same with the ruffler attachment, it was after market and actually fitted quite a few makes of machine.
I would just ask the dealer/shop if they will refund your money if you find it doesn't work just in case.
There is a low shank one on sewingpartsonline.com
http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/walking-foot-low-shank-p60444.aspx and they list the SU as compatible with it.
Take off the foot holder on your mache, and you need to fit the little open ended arm over the needle bar and the foot bracket onto the foot with your machine's regular thumb screw. The up and down movement of the needle bar operates the walking foot.
