Ok, I took the plate off and there was A LOT of brown grease in there, it was at least 2cm deep. I got most of it out but it doesn't look like its stuck because the grease is not hard. Should I clean all of it out because I don't know what I'd use to get it all out. There is some movement when I turn the wheel, like the thread take up, but it just stops and I can still turn the wheel but nothing moves. I'm going to get the singer oil just because its all I could find without having to wait for it from Amazon.
Wow...I am so thankful to all of you! This machine means a lot to me.
