Morganfam7, if you get a chance, try to take some pictures with the macro setting on your camera or phone. I'd love to see what this crud looks like now that you've been working on it..
I'd love to see the plastic brush on a dremel that you're using, too. It sounds like exactly what i need for scrubbing out bobbin cases and other grungy places.
I finished the first 66 and almost done with the 15-91 that I use all the time. The 2nd 66 and the Tuffany 27 are still being cleaned - the decals are so fragile that I went back to plain sewing machine oil.
I think I might try tinting the Tiffany decals with transparent oil paints after the machine is clean - the green and peach are very faded and I have a lot of paints leftover from my painting days. And with all this linseed oil, at least it would stick.
