Thanks Charlee. I am having so much fun with this project. I thought most of the decals were worn off when I got it but most of them were just buried under grease and grime. The only decals worn off were right where the hand has to hold to lower the machine into the cabinet and to lift it out and on the front base where the fabric slides over it as you sew. It is really beautiful now and I will enjoy sewing on it so much. I do still have to clean all the iron on the treadle and the base. All I have done on it so far is a thorough dusting. Looks like the paint is intact though and it should clean up beautifully.

Excellent job! Some machines come up shinier than others, it's all part of their character.
