Bring that baby on!!!!
When I do the Tutorial about the later machines (my 500A will be the victim) It will cover everything you need to know about how to do the general cleaning, oiling , and tune up that these shops want to break the bank on.
You machine fits right in the cut off for the shop because after the mid 70's they started to lean towards plastic cases and circuit boards.

I've been out of the shop too long, I see. It doubled in size while I was napping!
I will be waiting for this information, also. My new machine, a Viking, is one of the last made with cams - and I want to be able to take care of it. You are right, Billy. They want an arm and a leg to service it... But it's a good solid metal machine.
