Default Singer 66 new to me

I just purchased this Singer 66 in a cabinet for $50. I hope I got a good deal. I have already removed the scrolled face cover (not sure that is the proper name) and the needle bar parts. It needs a good cleaning and I am not sure exactly which product to use on which parts. All the metal parts need polishing to restore their shine. The black surface is in pretty good shape with a little grazing on the bed. Any help is appreciated in getting this back to working order again. The needle bar would not go all the way down but I found a piece of thread caught up inside and now it makes a full rotation. Yay![ATTACH=CONFIG]612355[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]612356[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]612357[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]612358[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]612359[/ATTACH]
as you can see it has had a stitch regulator added after manufacture. Is it possible to now restore it to using the knob? As i am taking parts off I put them into zipper lock bags with labeling so I go where to put them back. I took the rubber wheel off the bobbin winder as it was shot. Need to order a new one and possibly a new motor pulley belt.
