I don't know anything about servicing a sewing machine, but I had to chime in because I also have a Free-Westinghouse machine. It is like the one my mother had and that my sister and I learned to sew on. My mother had sold hers many years ago, but when my sister and I saw this one at an estate sale, we had to buy it. I haven't even tried it, because I'm not mechanically inclined. I read the manual, and it stated that you have to use their brand specific needles. Do you know if that is true and if they are hard to find?
Good luck with your machine.
