stinky montgomery wards SM
I got to play on friday morning with old SMs (plural). I had posted about the Sewing Machine Project that a local lady is running here in madison. friday I went and helped check out SM to make sure they work, oil and shine them up a bit. here is a MW machine that works beautifully, but it smells musty. I thought it was in the case and brought it home to set in the sun daily for a couple of weeks. NOOOO it is in the machine it self that stinks. any ideas if how to get this smell out? also anyone have more info on it? where do I look for a serial or model number to look up?

I can't help you with the smell, but that is so bizarre that you posted that picture, as my sister sent me 2 pictures of the same type of machine yesterday.

I have an Emdeko machine that reeks of stale rancid oil. I've cleaned it inside and out, oiled it repeatedly to flush out the old oil, used it several times, and yet it still stinks.
A person I know has left her FW with me to fix and it's case smelled like fresh mouse pee. My wife tossed a fresh drier sheet in the case and that has almost totally removed the stink. I think I'm gonna try that with the Emdeko.

Try using a product called OdoBan, spray douse it and it will dissipate the smell. I've used it in gallons before to douse a flagstone patio that had repeatedly been used by a dog as a potty ground and it worked wonders. It attacks the source smell so it doesn't come back and its safe enough to drink although not advisable.
