Is this an Elektra A3?

Elektra A3?

Gentlemen/Ladies,

I have a great machine, but I'm not sure of its vintage. It is a brass and copper Elektra that looks like an A3, but nowhere on the body does it indicate the model. There is a label on the lower right side of the base that indicates that the machine was made in Italy and it has two numbers: N° 1236 and M° 6 - 84. Other than these two numbers there are no other identifying marks. Can someone tell me when this machine was manufactured and the model name?

Thanks,

Woody

Would you post a picture? The numbers you mention sound like the sequence and month of manufacture (6/84). The manufacturer information of recent A3 models is under the driptray:
