Jan I have cleaned several nasty looking machines using Billy's tute. Most of the machines came out beautifully, but my Davis Vertical Feed machine lost most of what was left of her decals! That was the last time I tried to use Goop or GoJo non-pumice! The decals were gone before I realized it! I now just do the sewing machine oil, but as you all know that does not take the gunk off like a good cleaner will. I also tried using Dawn dishwashing soap, and that didn't really clean the machines like I'd like. I do use Blue Magic 12a TR-3 resin glaze with really good results, but that takes a ton of elbow grease! Anyway, I am becoming like a lot of the collectors that believe it is best to leave well enough alone, but this new Minnesota H that DH brought home looks horrible right now. It is the perfect machine to try another approach on - nothing to loose! I will send you an PM if I get in trouble!
