Well, sure, I would think after she is cleaned and oiled, lubed, she would be ready to go. Do you have a bobbin and holder? It is a pretty machine. You can clean the outside with cotton balls and sewing machine oil. But just over the decals one time with the cotton gently. I take the front plate, the bobbin plate, the balance wheel and as Joe says "everything that moves against another gets oiled. Take the bottom off and clean it too and oil everything that moves. GREASE ONLY on the gears. If I'm saying something wrong, someone correct me.
