So it hasn't seen a repairman over 15 years.

My grandmother has a 1930s Singer that she still uses. This one belonged to my aunt and I remember her using it when I was younger so I am definitely attached to it. Her kids do not sew and were just going to throw it away. Once I get it working I plan to keep it in good working order.

Thank you for the welcome. I figured I would ask more experienced people for help rather than risking damage to my machine or just overall making it harder on myself.
