Do you service your attachments too?
I just trotted in happily with my cleaned up Singer 301, popped it into the card table, reached into the bag of goodies and eww! The zig zagger and the buttonhole attachment are gross.
I usually clean up the extra feet, although most of them that come with my machines have seen little to no use. People don't seem to change attachments that often.
I've never really checked out these bigger attachment units. Do you disassemble? Or do you just wipe them off?

It depends. I clean the rust off as well as I can if they need it and wipe them down with a bit of oil. If they have moving parts like a buttonholer, they get oiled just like a sewing machine would. A bit of oil on everything that moves. IIRC Singer included instructions for oiling their buttonholers. So far I haven't taken any apart.
