No thread on the bobbins? Hummm...is that because the thread acts as a wick? I'm going down there today or tomorrow to have a good look at the machines. Many of them are stored in plastic bins and more are in their cases. I was thinking of buying some of those "DampRid," packets that are put into packages and on boats to keep the contents dry and mildew free. I've also heard of using calcium chloride to absorb moisture.
Joe I'm going to wipe them all down with oil, but that's about as close as I'll ever get to oiling a firearm...LOL.
