. (if you email me one, I will post) Most of the buttonhole attachments I've seen probably just need to be wiped off and looking at a 121704 looks like it might be kind of complicated to get it back together.Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.

Treat them like your sewing machine. Everywhere that two pieces of metal rub together gets a drop of oil. If it's really dirty or stiff you might want to take it apart to clean and oil it. Just pay attention to how you do it so you can get things back together.
