Working on the 'frozen' Singer 201-2
I have spent a week going from store to store in our little town trying to get some three in one sewing machine oil to start working on this monster. No such luck, none, negative, not gonna happen here. Even Walmart did not have any. While I was bemoaning this problem to the cashier at the local Bi-mart, and an older gentleman turned to me and said "What kind of oil do you need?" I told him sewing machine oil. He said that I could substitute 3 in 1 oil for guns, it is the same thing. Well I bought a spray can of gun oil, cleaner, and lubricant, with a spray nozzle and a narrow tube to attach for spraying into difficult areas. On Monday, my friend is coming over to work on it again, and I really need some of you experts to tell me if this stuff will work, or if I should keep looking.... The 201-2 is completely frozen, nothing on it moves. Thanks for any and all help.
