Wowza....you've had a wonderful day!!
I'm cleaning up the same exact machine for a friend of mine. It belonged to her husband's grandmother. It's coming out beautiful. I'm using Maas metal polish on all the shiny pieces and a little sewing machine oil is making the black finish nice and black.
I noticed that your bobbin slide plate is missing. It was also missing on the machine that I'm working on and I purchased one from Sew Classic.com for $7.59!! That's so-o-o reasonable!!

Everything that was brown is now nice and shiny! Only the tensioner is still dirty. Can't wait to see your's cleaned up, too!
