I am following Billy's wonderful instructions for disassembling and cleaning old sewing machines. See:

[anyone know how Billy is doing? He hasn't been on here for a few weeks.]
I am at the point where I am trying to remove the hand wheel. This baby clearly has NOT been used to wind bobbins in quite some time. The knob in the inner wheel won't turn whatsoever. I've removed the tiny screw holding it onto/into the hand wheel, and I can't get it to budge. I've tried wd40, a rubber jar lid gripping device; I've even thudded it gently with the hard rubber end of my screw driver. Nada, zip, rien, no-budgah.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
