Don't do what I did - non-working Necchi Supernova

Belt had the bad wear because the balance wheel would barely move with the belt off. Poor motor probably just burned the belt away. Oil and turn oil and turn.. slowly getting more movement. Still drag somewhere.

The vintage Necchi Yahoo group has an excellent cleaning/unfreezing tutorial in their files. Because of the extremely close tolerances in these machines, most times just oiling them won't bring them back to their full glory, all the old oil and gunk really needs to be cleaned out of them including removing the hand wheel and cleaning there.
