Ten days ago I picked up an Italian built Singer 239 in a cabinet, only because I needed the cabinet. Well, ten days later I am done with both of them and thought that I would share a couple of the before and after pics of the machine. I posted them here, http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...t216857-9.html
I have more on my FB page. The link is below.

Nancy I know what you and yours is going thru. We were the caregivers for Pats mother and grandmother and lived in our guest for ten years. Grandma lived to 103 and we had to go thru their stuff and the houses up north. Lots of stuff nice stuff but like you had to sell and give away or donate. I was very hard. We are still cleaning out our house of all the stuffs we think we need. I would love to have seen some of those clocks as you know I collect them to.

Grant, I have seen your work over and over again and it always amazes me! What did you use on that Singer 239 to make it look like new? Are you just stringing us along and those are really two different machines! It is amazing to me that anyone could get a machine as gross looking as that 239 was to look as nice as you got it to look! I usually pass up a machine that looks like that one did, thinking it is a lost cause!

Interesting side story on this machine and cabinet. When I picked it up it was missing the Drawer on the cabinet. It was missing the Slideplate, Bobbin Case, and a Bobbin too. I have spares for the machine parts but was going to have to call in a favor to have a drawer made. A few days after I picked it up I got an e-mail from the seller. She found the Drawer. I picked it up and the slideplate, Bobbin Case and Bobbin were in the drawer. Nice. I am so glad that she didn't just toss it all out. A lot of people would have.

Quick question - has anyone ever used WD-40 Rust Remover Soak? The bobbin winder on my new Free No.5 is nasty looking and I don't know how to get the rust off. Don't want to damage it as I am new to this.

I suspect as long as you follow the instructions and can remove the rusted parts from the painted parts the WD-40 stuff should work just fine.
