That may be one of the 'Never Oil" Vikings. The parts where oil-impregnated, which only lasted about 25-30 years. Then you had to clean all the gunk out and treat them as oil-able machines- and they it was pretty much going by visual inspection - if the parts rubbed then add a drop of oil.
IF the machine is new to you, and is not moving freely - you have a much bigger problem to deal with than adding a bit of oil. Don't try to force anything, the plastic parts that are now stuck together will break.

I belong to that Yahoo group - they really do have tons of info on there, and I'd strongly suggest joining and reading and finding out before messing with a stuck Viking. BTW- my main sewing machine is a 32 year old Viking and I love it.
We learned the hard way in attempting to obtain a working 6570 like my very first sewing machine.
