I've got a friend who buys old, supposedly broken sewing machines from garage sales and thrift stores. She cleans them of all the lint, oils them, and the work great. She then sells them and has quite a tidy little business going. She gave a lecture on the subject at one of our guild meetings and she would definitely agree, most problems are simply a lint and oil problem.
