I have not used ATF either. Just so's ya know.
It is funny when I see an old machine like that, my mind does the same type of thing that it does when I see a piece of armor that I want to reproduce... It automatically starts building a checklist of activities in order...
I see that Hengsenberg, and my mind went..
1. Sewing machine oil, on a microfiber cloth - Wipe down
2. Oil and Q-Tip - everything that the cloth didn't get
3. Underside - same as above 1 and 2
4. tri-flow EVERYTHING.
5. the HARD PART - Wait 10 minutes..
6. Try movement, gently, Remember every "grinding sound" or "gritty feel" is wear happening!
Repeat as necessary.
I only have two machines which have required more that that.
I will post a few observations on rust and removal in a bit...
