You need to put that machine on the rotisserie and keep oiling and marinading it... Then do it on end. It may be near where you applied heat but you want to go after the other end as well. Just a little tiny bit of oil gummies can be your problem. Sooner or later some oil will run into what ever is stuck. I've seen all kinds of stuck up places. It sure is fun when they start moving though. One time my DGD, Lovie was oiling a stuck up Singer 99. There was a thread stuck and the machine was full of dried up oil. She oiled and we pulled out that thread and when she cranked it the machine moved. The crazy child gave that machine a big hug. I had to laugh.
