Here is my post after I got the FR. It was pretty rough.

There was a huge rats nest (actually a mouse nest) of thread, grasses, etc (and other unsavory things) under the machine. I must have spent at least 30 minutes just working the thread jam out of the bobbin. I had previously sprayed the underside and up the upright of the machine w/Tri-Flow to loosen everything up. Sprayed the bottom w/Simple Green to clean up the old grease and oil. There was a spot at the base of the upright that was all rusted. Took the motor off to take to my DFIL to check out. The wires on the light are badly frayed. Will need to get some cloth covered wire to replace that. Then I cleaned and polished it yesterday. What a difference!!!! I still have to rework the cabinet, new veneer on the top, remove the finish from the rest of the cabinet, do some minor repairs.
Here are the pics.
