Depending on the machine, I might be tempted to power wash for mud daubers. I've been fortunate and not found anything other than dried oil and lint in my machines. I'm not sure how I would handle if found what this person did -> http://sewingrepairblog.com/you-can-call-me-batman

Thanks for the links. All information on potted motors is helpful! I checked my screwdriver and I'm using the correct one, but I'm guessing the previous owner, or whoever last played around with this machine, did not and they ended up stripping the screw.

Oh, and concerning finding a bat in a machine, I'll take an old wasp nest any day!!
