Are you sure that's mold and not aluminum rot? Aluminum rot is not something you can readily fix. Typically when that happens, the machine ends up being used for parts. You might want to join the Featherweight group on Yahoo to get some opinions from the gurus on that group.

I think that's oxidized aluminum.
I have never heard of aluminum rot....after cleaning, it does not appear to be mold (is not affected by wiping or bleach) Metal is rough and white....

You need to contact the seller and send that baby back...If the Alum is rotting underneath thaat's not good...Unless you got her really cheap I'd return her...Just my opinion...there are so many good ones out there for a few more bucks you could get one in near mint condition...
