maybe you will see something there that will help you clean yours.

Thanks, I just read through that posting again, it's interesting & my machine is also from 1948.. Mine was quite clean when I got it, but I did take the throat plate off & got alot of lint out of there, but when I put it back it didn't work properly. Out came the printed manual from the internet... and yes.... that little hook on the bobbin piece has to seat into the groove on the plate.... oh good.... all stitching again!
