I am figuring that we need to cover the basics and then some...... Electrical (to me the MOST important one), Disassembly, Cleaning, Assembly, Cabinet refinishing, and Upkeep and Maintenance.
The first installment will be the Disassembly of the machine.
I just hope these will be helpful for anyone wanting to work on their own machines and maybe we can start saving more of them and using them for our quilting projects.

I wanted to take her apart and clean before using! Please make sure you include me in your tutorials! I am looking forward to learning about this machine myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you! (Oh, she has a name "Jeannie" after my mom!) Did I say thank you?
Sounds like you have a nice machine under all the grime! Well start tearing into Jeannie and get ready to clean her up!!
