Take a look at ther thread - Vintage sewing machine shop - You will find lots of information about vintage machines. And there are tutorials on how to clean up your machine and get her running again. (I have seen tri-flow mentioned, but not pb blaster...)

I'm glad you joined us. Hi from Nebraska! :D
