How to take the cover off an elna air electronic

My elna air electronic TSP makes a popping noise inside like there is something wrong with the wiring. I've tried taking the cover off at the top and bottom but I think it's at the back or end of the machine I need to see into

Could you describe when you hear the popping noise? is it during stitching as a blunt needle will definitely make a popping or squeaking sound. To get into your AE TSP, unplug from the power, then there are two screws on the top cover holding it down that need to be removed. You can then juggle the top cover around the handle and move it to the back giving you access to the inside.

Getting into the right side behind the flywheel is a bit more difficult and you need to be careful as there is an electronic panel there connected to the internals.

The TSP would be circa 1985-89; if it hasn't had a service in last five years, then maybe consider finding an Elna dealer and taking it in as if it is the electrical side panel, it should be repairable. If you are in USA, White Sewing Centre is the place to talk to, they carry many Swiss Elna spare parts still.

SOURCE: Elna Primula 410 Bobbin Winding Question

Wind the Bobbin
For the usual jobs, it is the best to use a medium sized thread.
2. Disengage the flywheel by unscrewing the coupling knob as far as it will go.

3. Place the bobbin on the bobbin winder, and push the bobbin winder to the right.

4. Pull out one of the spool pins and place the spool of thread on it.

5. Pass the thread through the bobbin winder tension discs, as indicated.

6. Wind the end of the thread around the bobbin by hand, in the direction indicated.

7. Wind the bobbin, at a medium speed by pressing lightly with a finger on the spool so as to stretch the thread better and thus fill the bobbin to a maximum. The full bobbin stops automatically.

8. Re-engage the flywheel by tightening the coupling knob.

9. Cut the thread and remove the bobbin from the bobbin winder by pushing the latter to the left.

SOURCE: should I oil my Elna 3005 sewing machine?

Many of the new models do not require oiling.

Check the maintenace section of the manual for cleaning the shuttle area. Sometimes lint can build up and cause the machine to get noisy.

If it has been over a year since the machine was serviced, it may be time for a proffesional tune-up.

Elna tsp presser foot does not move when the lever is moved up or down. I suspect it's unhooked inside. Is there a way for me to get inside to check it?

there is a spring on the presser foot applying pressure when you release the lever, so that there is constant downward pressure onto the fabric from the foot as you stitch. If there seems to be no pressure on the presser foot, then this spring may have broken. If this is a Star series TSP with a beige top and white body, then you undo screws on the top panel to gain access. There is also a TSP in the Air Electronic later model range, there is also two screws on top but you need to work around the carry handle to actually lift and move the top panel to the back of the machine. I'd suggest this could be a job for the SM repair mechanic.

I need an Air foot control # 436310-20 for my Elna Stella TSP air electronic. How and where I can get this part?

I'd suggest www.sewingpartsonline.com if you are in USA.

https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/air-foot-control-elna-436410-20.aspx

Or you could try the Elna Guru, White Sewing Center www.whitesewingcenter.com, he's the specialist supplier for all things Swiss Elna.

The air control foot is the same for all the Elna Air Electronics, whether Stella, SU, TSP, TX etc.

Have inherited my mom's elna Stella tsp air electronic. The foot control became harder to press, then stopped working. Elna want ZAR858 for a new part! Can I repair it?

Im confused, Stella TSP air electronic has a round black and white air foot with a black air line to the side of the machine like this.

4074ac27-a7f7-43aa-8f29-2d32420a9555.jpg

or the earlier Lotus TSP has a electric foot and cable which is made of older style plastics, these are harder to find now but Sewingpartsonline.com carry an aftermarket one like this

No, not cheap parts but beautiful machines that with TLC work so well.

Need repair manual for elna tsp. or info to repair tension mechanism

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.

I have a Elna Air Electronic TSP machine and are looking for the manual. Type 58, no: x2414392. Where can i buy it and what is the cost? Regards, Anne-Marie Smit RSA

Hi Anne-Marie, I believe your TSP would look like this one below?
tally_girl_54.jpg
there is a manual available for download at www.diplodocs.com, just search with "Elna 58 tsp" and you should find it.

There is also a great website in the USA, www.whitesewingcenter.com where there is lots of Swiss Elna manuals, accessories and spare parts for sale, really great resource as Tavaro SA no longer operates and the current Elnas are made in Asia. They do sell O/S but you may need to pay by bank draft.

I trust that this helps you with your TSP, it was a well made machine.
