    Default How Do I Clean/Restore a White Family Rotary

    hi all,

    i am trying to clean/oil my 2 white family rotary sewing machines but i see that this is totally different from singer. i know that with vintage singer sewing machines i can remove all parts and i will be able to put them all back in with no problems. white rotary is different and i heard that you should never remove the presser foot face plate as it's so complicated or hard to re-install. do i just put oil and call it a day? any other tips ? how do i clean the crinkled head ? with oil ?

    thanks a lot.

    here's my white rotaries that i am cleaning right now.

    NOTE: i got the manual that has the instructions on how to oil it. it's just that i wanted to know if there is something that i need to avoid or something special that i need to do. thanks again.
