Actually I could not leave her alone this evening. I sort of took everything off that would come off. The hand wheel would not turn at all. Hmmm. So I turned her on her her back and sprayed liquid wrench inside of the pillar then did the same on the faceplate side. I let her sit for awhile and then tapped the pressure foot bar with my leather mallet. Things started loosening up and after a few more taps the hand wheel is turning smoothly. Don't know what I did but figured she could not be hurt anymore than when I started. So much better than doing a complete tear down.

Brunhilda is a neat name. I think I will use your suggestion. Thanks Joe.

The slide plates are now off and the rusted bullet shuttle along with a shuttle bobbin are out. After a wipe down with a soft rag using Dawn detergent I then wiped her kerosene. Wow, what a transformation. I will post some pics tomorrow. You will be amazed.
