Good call on the skeewers+rags, thank you. Those extra long cotton swabs would be sweet, but no such thing around here.
I've found myself wishing I had a compressor way to many times.




Thank you! I was afraid of the rubbing alcohol and the paint on the dials good to know the only problem is the red lever.

I also would love the polish up the badges but I'm afraid steel wool might remove the markings on them. Do you have any experience with this?

I think I would try metal polish. I've used it extensively on sewing machines, but not on the badge. That would still be my first choice.

I have to admit that I am afraid of the auto polish, although everyone says to use it. I have a black 301 that needs that, but it's still sitting there.
