You need to get GOJO. Your machines are nice have fun with them. Most Auto stores carry it. It's a hand cleaner for getting grease and grim off. Get the one without the grit in it.
Opps Sewbizgirl beat me to it. :mrgreen:

Hi from Chicago...this is billed as the "storm of the century" otherwise known as " snowmaggeddon, snocano, snowzilla, snowtorious B.I.G., etc. Took me 2 hours and 5 minutes to drive home from work! Just a good time to mess with my vintage machines and do some sewing. Supposed to get 18 - 24 inches, Yuk!

Probably the wrong thing to wish for...
but wish I could have a snow day so I could stay home & play with my machines. :)
Oh well...not very likely in the central part of California.

Wednesday is half price sale..buttt not in the snow expected. Have to wait til next week. GOOD luck with your findssssss :) get a couple[/quote]
Yesterday and Sunday it was in the 80s and I was barefoot wearing tank top and shorts, woke up this morning to 25f and extremely windy. Yuck! Tonight its supposed to 16f and maybe snowing. I'm tired of our very bizarre weather here in central Texas.

We lost power at my house for 3 hours last night. Poor DD had 2 large dogs trying to bed down with her. She finally had to make them go to their own beds, her Dh had trouble getting into bed. lol

I have been to Needlebar and scruntinized pictures of the lotus decals vs. the brown lotus and truly they are nearly identical. Both have the same reddish-brown flowers, but on the regular lotus the smaller flowers are two colors of green, and on the brown lotus those green flowers have tiny red tips. So by that criteria mine is a brown lotus. It's got the red tipped smaller flowers. Sheesh... if that's the only dif, it ain't much! :roll: Anyway, nice to know what I've got.
I've also been messing with the treadle workings on that same machine's cabinet and think I've isolated the clunking sound to the end of the pitman rod, where it connects to the treadle. There seems to be too much movement in it, and I'm not sure how to fix that. It's a DR cabinet (the one Billy has been looking for...) and you can't get into the compartment behind that pitman rod. It's work to pump that treadle and I know it's not supposed to be.
