Hi!
I'm new but i do know a bit about cleaning machine parts. I used this 'trick' on cast iron it may take a bit of elbow grease but it's cheap. I'm not sure how it would affect the decal and paint so test in a hidden spot first. Salt and veggie oil, paper towel or cloth. *nods* yep, thats it. Put oil on the paper towel, add a little salt then scrub until the rust is gone. Repeat as necessary.
Then just use soap and water to remove the veggie oil and salt, making sure it's super dry so it won't rust. Re-Oil the machine with sewing machine oil.
I'm not sure about the parts, and i'm fairly certain others here know different ways to scrub rust away. As i said i'm new to collecting and caring. But this trick works for cast iron pots and pans. No harsh chemicals and such.
Hope this helps.
