I have cleaned up my old machines but never been able to get the shine you have on yours in the pictures. Which product did you use to get the shine? My Dad got me using WD40 to loosen up the guts and get things turning again. I have an old Universal that I have been soaking for a couple of months now and turning daily but it is still too tight for the motor to pull it. Any suggestions?
