It's a model 66 with a Red Eye/Red head decal. A red eye was my very first vintage machine. I had seen one on this forum and thought it was so-o-o beautiful!!! Beware, though, if this is your first vintage machine it won't be your last!!! :mrgreen:

If you want to clean her up make sure you don't use any harsh cleaning chemicals on her paint or you will turn the decals to silver :shock: :shock: :shock: . A wonderful thing to use is regular old sewing machine oil. Rub it on with your fingers, let it sit for a while and then wipe it off with a soft cloth or cotton balls. Afterward you can use a good quality car paste wax (without pumice) to protect her.

For her metal parts I use a product called Maas Metal Polish. What a difference you will see!
