And some of the work done:
The slide plate was replaced. The rusted bobbin area cleaned and working. The nose & tension cleaned and working.

The bobbin winder cleaned up but I'd like to figure out a HC or treadle. The big fat wheel that could go on it doesn't match the bobbin winder. bummer... no motor.
Here is after some of the TLC:
