I have spent all day cleaning this gross stuff off the machine. Machine is cleaned up, now I have to find a place to put treadle to test her. She did come with motor, but no cording. I had a difficult time removing the hand wheel. It was to cloudy and cold today to just set the machine out in the sun for some time, so I had to get out a heat gun to warm up the built up gunk.
Some of you may be interested to see what some of the guts look like on this Singer 224; so, here is a photo.
