Miriam,
Thanks for posting that pic. It really shows the rust and damage that poor thing has suffered. I added it to my photo gallery on my thumb drive.
Dorothy,
I used the torch to heat the needle bar and the part it moves up and down in as well as the presser foot shaft and it's mounting parts.
I stayed away from the paint and just got it hot enough to allow the oil I was using to work in between the parts. I also had to tap on the shafts to encourage them to move. But it's free now, and no worse off than it was. I might even get it to sew again.
As for the cabinet that white latex paint will come off, sometime next spring. Too darn cold and wet now.
Miriam,
Don't need no more cabinets. Got no place for 'em.
Joe
