Very nice machine - good rescue! I agree with Steve and Rodney and would probably leave the finish as is. When I was looking for info on the Singer 12s I read about the Sewing Consortium and the different clones that were developed in Europe - interesting history and comments that the ones from Germany were smoother stitchers and quieter.
