Sorry I am coming in late on this one, you definitely have a model 66 and it is a beauty :D

You said it wouldn't turn for you, have you tried to disengage the clutch and turn the wheel manually? Its the little chrome knob in the middle of the hand wheel. If it does then we know it is the mechanics that are causing the issue.

You can pull the machine from the case and take the face plate off look around it might just be oil that has solidified and keeping it from moving. If that is the case you can use a hair drier and warm the mechanics up until you can move it with your hand and then just oil it up.

Just remember before you plug it in be sure to check the wiring and be sure there is no frayed areas or skinned places that would cause a shock.

PM me if you need any help I have all sorts of service manuals, parts listings, and owners manuals for these old machines.

Billy
