The machine has seen some better days, it was stored in a shed and is a bit on the dirty and battered side. I have the mechanisms all moving freely, now I need to find something to clean the body without damaging what is left of the decals. And she is missing her throat plate and the stitch length adjustment screw, the wooden part of the hand crank and needs a new wheel for the bobbin winder.... Any suggestions would be appreciated for cleaning the body and locating parts.

Thank you.
Muv has made some wonderful videos on cleaning the old SMs
