Glen I just have to say that I have been walking by my husbands gun cleaning supplies, (the ones he uses to restore old guns) thinking that some of them would work and your tut. just confirmed that for me. The blaster and some of the brass brushes. He may lose his work bench soon because I really like the height of it.

Glenn, Hope I didn't mess up my machine. I started on it before I found your site here. I just acquired an old New Royal. She was rust fast and nothing would move. I sprayed it with WD 40. Got everything moving except can't get pressure foot off yet. It is rusted on. Did the WD 40 do any harm? Should I get your rust blaster and respry everything now? I don't know know what to do now. Cannot post pics tonight or I should say this morning considering the hour. LOL Wish I had found your site earlier. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks and blessings, Gragra
