Yes, that's a good one and you gotta love the green Singers! Get some Tuff Stuff at the auto parts store and clean the machine with it. It will melt off the yellow/brown gunk on it's finish. Then you can shine it up with some boot polish, or Liquid Gold, or even just some sewing machine oil.
Lucky you!
