What do you want to do, Diana? As in, how far do you want to go? Just fix your own machines or fix other peoples' too?
There are a couple of lists on yahoo that loads of us vintage fans subscribe to, and the tfsr web site has an excellent book on fixing four common Singer models (201, 15, 66, 99). These are simple enough to understand but are also possibly four of the best machines ever made (presumably this is why they were the focus of the book).
I learned by buying very cheap machines from my local tip shop and cleaning then fixing them. If I broke one, no big deal, since they were about $5 each.
