I looked at Billy's tute, you use kerosene! that just doesn't seem right. Doesn't it hurt the decals? My singers both have good decals, I don't want to remove them. That is the only thing that I'm worried about, the rest I think I can handle.
Thanks for all you patience and advice.

The kerosene is for the mechanics of the machine, Non Pumice Go Jo is for the finish f the machine but make sure to test a spot on the rear of the pillar to make sure it will not hurt the decals.

OK Thanks
It looked to me like you set the machine in the tub and allowed the kerosene to run over the whole thing, not actually scrub with it. the Go Jo sounds better.
I will keep working at this
Most machines do not need that extreme kind of work. I use a can with some kerosene or what ever and a paint brush - paint it on and dry it with a paper towel. Not so messy and not as much to take apart - if you have one that is a total rust bucket you might need to do the tub full of kerosene
