Well if its any constellation, it took me over 2 weeks to clean mine when I picked it up in St Louis.

But here is a before and after so this will give you an idea what it will look like when you are done. I can not stress the importance of taking your time, but the results are worth every minute spent!!!!

Looks like a RedEye and I have one also. I tend to love the old machines and have a bad habit of collecting them. I actually sew on my featherweight, my 201 and my 66.
They are not only gorgeous but sew wonderfully. get a tune up and that usually fixes almost everything. Congrats!

The Red Eye was the most popular decal pattern for the 66 and therefore a lot of them were sold and used! It is getting hard to find them with the bed decals still intact but they are out there. This one is nearly perfect (it had a little chip in the japan on the backside) but it is so minor it is hardly noticeable. The only reason I know its there is because I cleaned every square inch of the machine. :lol: :lol:
