Don't be afraid!! I have a Singer 28 handcrank machine (looks very similar to the 128) that I took apart and cleaned and she runs so-o-o smoothly!!! I had never taken a machine apart before so I took plenty of pictures as I took each section apart. I put the pieces, for each section, in small baggies to keep them separated. Then, after cleaning everything along with oiling and greasing all of the proper places, I put it all back together again by looking at the photos that I took. It was easier than you would think.

Congratulations on getting your machine. I also found one at a large church sale for a $1.00. I have a cabinet for it but have to redo it. I am anxious to sew with it.

These are scans of the individual manual pages at Smithsonian:

And these are similar scans of a booklet about using the attachments:

I wish I could find a 28/128 with those decals - they're called "La Vincedora." I've had one with near-perfect "Rococco" decals and two with "Victorian" decals in poor condition. But, they're great little machines and sew beautifully, as well as being really pretty to look at.

You can often find antique/vintage attachment sets on eBay pretty cheap if you watch for them.

I just ordered this same machine, online, and I just love the decals on it. It is not a "red-eye", which would be model #66.

Here are a couple of links to help you learn about winding and loading the bobbin:

Have fun playing with your "new" machine!!!!
That's her! Thanks for the links!
