I have it shining and it looks great. Oiled and when I move it by hand it makes no noise. Having to get husband to rewire the foot peddle before I can check on how it runs. All parts are no longer brown but it seems to still have a layer of residue I can't get off, not sure that it isn't a layer of the finish but the parts I have gotten off are more shiny than areas not removed. Scared I will mess up decals if I remove any more of the finish. Will post pictures when daughter can help me load them.
