Thanks miriam! I will try this....I'm not 100% sure I'm cut out to work on machines either but I Want to at least give it a good try. I'm a little fearful of doing something stupid in my ignorance and breaking something, so I've been hesitant to use too much force on this. Heat and oil sounds nice and gentle, I will start there! I need to figure out how to get this thing out of the cabinet anyway, it sits in there a little lopsided and I think one of the hinges might be bent so I want to get it out anyway and see if it's something I can bend back. (If not I can live with that, it's not Totally wonky, just a little off)

I'm starting to think this stuck clutch is why it got sent off to the thrift shop. Fortunately it doesn't appear as if anybody did anything violent to it trying to fix it, so hopefully I won't be the one to ruin it!
