Janice, Congratulations! Once you start binding with the Davis you will not go back! I use my Davis all the time and mine is very old 1886. Her decals are gone, we had re-do her cabinet because it was in terrible shape, but all worth it! That is one machine I will not sell, trade, etc.!
Be careful cleaning that machine, her decals will come right off! Check my Davis first pictured on page 474 - she had some decals. Now look at 1178 - decals gone! I got so into cleaning her that I cleaned the decals right off! Now, I am extremely careful about what and how I clean - no non-pumice Goo or anything like it over the decals!

Thanks, Nancy. I will be very careful with it when cleaning. Like Charlee recommends, I think I'll only use machine oil to clean it. That rust will have to be worked on, so I'm thinking the Evaporust and chrome polish like Glenn recommended.
