Looks as though it was sprayed with rust first! I have a very similar machine that didn't look quite that bad, but once I cleaned up the insides it has turned out to be the smoothest spinning machine I have.

Some interior descrators use old, rusty things as decorative items. That's who probably sprayed it with lacquer. Watch that American Picker's show -- they go ga-ga over old, beat-up, rusty advertising signs. Old, beat-up, rusty anything, as a matter of fact. I can't imagine having something like that hanging on my wall and wonder who does.

yep, it's pretty ugly now, but you can save it.
I like to use and offfset screwdriver or a pocketknife with a screwdriver blade half way out for the back presserfoot screw. ( late your disassembly. I know)
