Where can I obtain a new drive wheel ? It has a rubber tyre which has flat spots

Beware of the low quality plastic in the replacement parts!

The heritage Elna group worked out a 3D printed design that seems to work well. It has 3 grooves that o-rings go into. Obviously, the o-rings can be easily replaced far more cheaply than buying a new wheel.

Try "whitesewingcenter.com". I have spent months looking for this part. I live in Australia and am going to have trouble getting my money to him, (he doesn't accept PayPal, Direct Debit, Credit Cards or foreign cheques!) but you won't have a problem. Under "Elna Parts", you will find:

"#P220777-- New Elna supermatic friction wheel to fit type 722010 models . If your Supermatic is noisy, it is usually the 50 year old friction wheel causing the problem. Includes a free 4 page instruction booklet, with illustrations, for easy installation---$24.00"

Hope this helps.

Hello Jenny
Only from an Elna dealer unless it is the winder rubber in which case you can get that at any sewing machine shop.
