1.) How the heck do you take out the presser foot bar? I've tried several different things but for the life of me I can't figure it out.
2.) What is the purpose of the knob above the bobbin winder?
3.) How do you get the plates and knobs to look like polished chrome?
Why are you removing presser foot bar? Unless it's bent, there's no reason to do so. If it's twisted (foot appears "crooked") there's a screw to loosen to straighten it.
The knob above the bobbin winder is to adjust stitch length.
If the plates and knobs are rusted, Evaporust will remove it quickly. If they're dirty, try an Oxyclean solution. To shine, a metal polish usually works.
