Miriam, I know you will get more of that rusty color off.... I've seen the stuff you've cleaned up. But I have a question. I use a cotton string with metal cleaner on the take-up bar and it cleans up really nicely but I always wonder how you clean up the presser bar lever.... It has that heavy spring around it and it's hard to get to. What do you suggest?
Also, do you take everything apart? I haven't ever disconnected everything..... and can't always get to things as well as I'd like. The 128 is an example of what I'm talking about. When I moved that little chrome tag-looking plate on the front, the moving part inside looked like it needed more cleaning but I couldn't really get to it very well. What do you do?
