Yes, that is a red-eye. A very well used machine. The decals are exposed and have had most of the gold rubbed, worn, or cleaned off.

The easiest thing to do with this machine is get some sewing machine oil, cotton balls and clean it yourself. Oil the dickens out of it and start sewing. No need to pay someone to do something you can do yourself.

Muvs tutes are in the sticky section at the top of the Vintage machine section ( this one ). Skip ( forum name Glenn ) has several threads about fixing and repairing machines and cabinets.

I've got a couple here, Miriam has, Candace, Mizkaki, Arcaic Arcane, SteveR, Grand15clone, lots of us have done this and made machines sew up a storm.

The problem with your bobbin winder is lack of oil, gummed up old oil, and a hardened and cracked drive tire.

Sew-Classic has you covered.
