I handed in a model 99 in for service and rewiring a couple of years ago, it was a bit costly but after the initial payment I have never regretted it. At the time I was not up to rewiring it my self, I didn't have the schematics nor any help. Everything but cables, bobbin tire and motor belt was kept, plugs were fine. With the 128 you don't have to worry much about a hot bulb, you will not easily bump into it by accident. It's the Featherweight with it's tiny size and lower light fitting where this is a problem. However, these days you can find replacement LED bulbs in both the threaded and bayonet socket type. Some LED bulbs have a not so nice blue light, I like the white or the slighly yellow light best.

Have you had an attempt at cleaning and oiling? Decals looks like they are pretty much intact, only slight wear in the front. It looks very nice.
