The dimmer switch idea can also regulate a foot control if you want consistent speed.
A tooth pick works for tight places and won't cause any burrs. I have some kind of joined together chip sticks - I wrap a little rag around to get in tight places. I also have some hemostats to pull out threads or just clamp something in place or get in a tight space with a little rag.
I keep an old empty ketchup bottle in Wilbur's tools so he can blow out lint on the old machines.
