Took her all apart and cleaned and polished and put her back together, then went over her cabinet which is in exellent condition. I wish it were my grandma's, but I am delighted and can't wait to learn to sew on a treadle. 
Oh I'm SOOOOO jealous!!! She's gorgeous! I keep watching Craigslist for a deal, but I don't believe I've ever seen a prettier machine. You did good!! :c)
