Welcome to the Quilting Board. You will find lots on information here. I can't help you on cleaning up your new found machine but I know others will be along to help you in the progress. Once you get that little jewel purring you will be off to your new adventure in quilting. You will learn so much here & also on the web (you tube, tutorials, etc.) We love pictures here & a picture of you machine will probably help those who can enlighten you as to how to clean her up. Have fun!
