Default 99k rust issue?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]510517[/ATTACH]This is a cute little machine I got back in November from Goodwill Online. Life has interfered with cleaning it up until today.

I'm a little bit concerned about the foot pedal. The cords and plug look ok to me (don't think they are original, but older), but the foot pedal has quite a bit of rust on it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]510518[/ATTACH]The outside of the machine is pretty clean, but when I took off the face plate the machinery looked like it might have a little rust on it as well - no picture as I cleaned most of it off already.

I haven't tested the machine to see if it will run because I didn't have a base for it - but my DH built me one over the weekend so I think I'll check it tomorrow.

I'm just a little concerned about the rust, though. Should I take the motor apart to see if it's got any? I've never done that before - new treat I guess.

Suggestions, my friends?
