Default Wheeler and Wilson find!

I'm excited to find my first W&W machine. It was on craigslist this morning and I picked it up tonight. It's in awful condition but I don't mind a bit. It's missing the hand crank and a sole plate, but all the parts move smoothly, and it even came with a bobbin still in place. It's also missing the case.

Any suggestions for bringing this old girl back to life? I took photos and then slathered it with sewing machine oil to soak the grime off. After it's clean I'll see what I can do about finding parts for her.
