I'm not sure if I still have the one like that or if I sold it. I have a bunch that are lighter weight but made like that. The ones I have left look like they have never been used - looks like they were from a dealer. They have set around a long time and need to be checked over and cleaned. I'd like to get rid of them.

Chris,
I agree with everything the ladies said except, I would use Tri-Flow grease, not Singer lube grease. Singer grease will get hot and fling off the gears. Tri-Flow sticks better.

sometimes I will use a little rubbing alcohol on the q tip/cotton bud to get that kind of grease off, too. Triflow grease is much prettier! Laura

Anamaria, That Necchi is in a very nice base. So, you will not need to worry about putting in a cabinet right away for you to use. It can sit on a table for some time until you find a Necchi cabinet. I have seen the non treadle Necchi cabinets on Cl from time to time. Oh, and those Necchis are very heavy machines; so, place it in a spot that it can sit for a long period of time, but at the same time you can use it.
I forgot about that pristine base.

Good to know and thanks for information re rubbing alcohol and qtips.
Pictured is the latest helper giving me her opinion of what I need to do. This is Lily who is also the feline unit of the quilt police.
