I just googled Go Jo and Mother's Mag -- I never would have thought of those (especially since I never HEARD of them). My Featherweight Minnie Mouse cld use a good clean...
Her name is Minnie Mouse because I was at the Kentucky Dam State Park when I got her. A friend had picked her up at an auction and we were staying at the park. That night, a tiny mouse decided to share my room...needless to say, I was not thrilled and tried to explain that to the mouse, but she would not listen. Anyway, that is how my featherweight got her name!
Enjoy!!

I cleaned up my fw when I purchased her at $450. She looked so shiny at the flea market. But wanted to get her clean because I did see some dirt on her. I used what a website recommended...it has been awhile so forget what exactly it was. Well when I started cleaning her the gold decals turned silver and some came off. I could have cried. But she runs like a gem and still love her! Just be careful in what you use to clean your fw. I think maybe in my case they just greased her up to look nice and shiny.
