Check the "stickies" at the top of the page. There is a good one on cleaning vintage machines. I use a stiff artist paint brush and TriFlo bicycle oil. Then wipe that on the rag. Get as much gunk off as possible. I use Tri Flo grease on all gears after they are clean. Try to find a manual for your machine. It is a recipe book for long life and happy usage of your machine. See if your sister has it. What Joes said about the cams for sewing patterns. I got mine on Ebay, but they are available other places too. Remember, take the needle plate off and get all the lint and debris out of the bobbin area. There I probably a lot o felt packed in that area. A computer vacuum is also a good idea. You can use it later too.
