Do you have any suggestions on finding someone locally who likes to work on vintage machines (like you)??
I know a fellow in Alabama but I would have to ask him exactly where he is but he owns several vintage machines and works on his own. What part of Al are you from.

I live in Seminole, AL which is just a few miles west of Pensacola and 45 miles from Mobile. But even a road trip would be worthwhile. BTW I took the cover plate off the bottom of the foot control and took the wires off so now I can release the head from the cabinet. I've never done anything like that before but it sure was exciting. You can teach an old dog new tricks!! The tutorial on machine cleaning sounds great to me. Once this baby is sparkling clean I want to keep her that way. Thanks again for all your help!
