I also cleaned up the inside of the machine - it wasn't rusted as I had thought - it had dried up oil. I just used a rag and a bit of rubbing alcohol and it came right off - it may or may not be that easy for you. There is rust in a couple places but the machine turns well. Then I followed Glenn's info for getting the outside cleaned up. This is a picture of after the cleaning. I still have to use the shellac/denatured alcohol and get the finish looking better. This is still looking a bit rough. Glenn says it will take a lot of work to get this machine smooth and sleek without ruining the decals. It will take a little time here and there but I'm looking forward to getting it done. Cleaning it up to this point took a couple evenings. Right now it has a coating of boiled linseed oil on it to protect the decals. The next step is the shellac and will take going over it several times different days.
