HI! I use a carburator degreaser and q-tips and alot of elbow grease on the really hardened oil. I also use WD-40 to clean the finish as well as Dawn dish soap-----The WD-40 will clean sticky residue from old service stickers (I love WD-40!)
I can't wait to see your picture!

I should have clarified that I use the degreaser only on the hardened oil and grease ,not on the finish----I use the q-tips dipped in it ------to clean the surface, the WD-40 or dish soap cleans well---I re-shine with singer oil I had to repaint due to the paint being worn off....

Ohhh, if that little machine could talk! Wouldn't she have some wonderful stories to tell. When I see wear marks like that on a machine from the seamstress's arm, my imagination goes wild. I would love to meet the lady who loved her so, sit down, have a cup of tea, and enjoy long conversations about sewing. It's lookin' good. Enjoy!
