The k part of the 327k indicates it was made in Scotland.
If you're getting some movement but it's locking up I'd suggest starting disassembly with the bobbin area as the easiest area to work on that seems a likely culprit.

Rice is for eating .... 
. I've had one that I used my wife's hair drier on after and during soaking with Tri-Flow oil.
Finally I had to result in using a plastic rod and a hammer to encourage the stuck parts to move. Once I got them to me it was just a bit more soaking and taping till the parts were free and moved easily.
I've got another one that is still soaking in oil. Tomorrow it will get heat. Then the fun begins. Either it cooperates or after stripping off all the useable bits I'm gonna scrap it out. No mercy, capitulate or die.
Well, I'm not really that blood thirsty ..... but this thing is in my way and it bugs me.

BREAKTHROUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I FINALLY got her broke loose!!!
But man is she stiff! I think I know where the problem is I just don't know how to fix it.
You know the part, the gear thing that has the stitch disc thing on it?
Well I think that's the part that's not letting the main shaft turn easily.
I'll try to get pics up tomorrow, My hands hurt from trying to get that thing loose.
I think I know what I'm gonna call her..... P.I.B. Pain in the butt.
