The crank now moves and the needle bar has been freed up!
Today I as able to get all the rest of the screws in the face loosened and got a few pieces out for cleaning. Everything has been freed up except the right side slide plate and the stitch adjustment slider. They are both being stubborn. More oil, more heat, more time.
The box has been cleaned and some loose bits glued down. I love the warm look you get with wax but am considering shellac. The area under where the lip of the machine sits has some shine but the rest is gone. The tiny inlay has lost some bits previously and I am hoping to seal it from further destruction.
