I did use a product called Evapo-Rust that I got from Harbor Freight that eats rust and isn't caustic to people. I did not use it around the decals, but soaked everything else after it had a kerosene bath. I love that stuff. There is no rust on this machine, even though some pictures make it look like there is some on the face plate.

Texas Jan, You did a great job and the fix on the broken piece came out well. I want to see something sewn with her someday.

I had to look at your machine again and I am impressed. I must get me some Evapo-rust.. You said Harbor Freight? I am on my way. Glenn
That did do an excellent job of removing all the rust. Beautiful job! Well worth all the work and time that you put into cleaning the gal up.
Thanks !! You just soak the stuff and rinse it off with a toothbrush. No scrubbing. No harmful fumes, no rubber gloves. If I sound like a walking advertisement--I am.
