Need to Clean a Singer 201
I have my mother's old 201 which I am giving to my GD. I've had it serviced but the head needs to be cleaned. It's in great shape but just a little dusty. No rust and the decals are in excellent shape. What would be the best way to clean it? Would soap and water be OK? Surprisingly, when I tested the machine before taking it to be serviced it worked. I know it hasn't been used in 40 to 50 years so I was amazed it worked. The service guy said all he had to do was oil it and adjust the tension. The case needs to be repaired. It has a bentwood case that came apart but my GD's husband does woodworking so the can repair the case.
