So to start this off I want you to clean the machine to get rid of the dirt and dust from the surface. Soap and water etc your favorite method. No gojo or goop. Then wipe down the whole with naptha this will remove any oil from the head. Of course you have done the cleaning to the mechanics of the machine before this step and the machine is working now. Now gather the materials. old white cotton T-shirts, hubby's tighty whities etc. denatured alcohol and linseed oil, shellac. All can be purchased al Lowes or Home Depot. Oh naptha is notlhing more than lighter fluid for a cig lighter. A small bottle will do you will not need much to wipe the head down. I will give you the next installment tomorrow in my evening post.
Glenn, as we gather this stuff up and start following your instructions, it would be really fun to have photos posted of the progress - before and during photos!
