Did I send you some feet that look like that? Don't remember.

if I didn't, can you send me the specs and I'll see if I've got any that fit. That one looks like a cording/braiding foot.

I did not receive a foot like this. I will try to draft it up tonight (i.e. take pictures with a ruler in the shot)

Steve, it's looking much cleaner. What are you using to clean it? I have hopes of re-painting my IF some day and want to clean up the insides like that but haven't been able to get all the parts loose.

Looks good! Clean but not too shiny. It looks the way an old machine should look.

Brasso with brass wire brush and/or 0000 steel wool.

This machine has been being treated for weeks waiting for the screws to loosen up. I was going to try the rubberband trick others posted in the tips section, but the Kroil had already done it's job and the screws were loose.
