My main machine is so old I don't have a manual anymore and I can't get another. It's an Electro Grand. So when I clean and oil it, I look where ever there's any lint to remove, and oil any little holes and where ever metal moves. If the oil can nozzle doesn't reach, I hold a toothpick over the hole and drip the oil onto the pick. It runs down and into the hole. Then wipe up any excess, run some scraps through to catch any extra oil and I'm back in business.

My manual is getting worn in spots. They also do not recommend this machine be oiled. I take it in to the shop on Tuesday and will pay them to clean, oil, and do a tune-up. It messed up on me and I have been without a machine for almost two weeks. It's killing me!

I think I found a manual for the Electro Grand sewing machine. Don't know if you need it, but this site says they have it.

I have two industrial machines so I am the mechanic! One is over 30 years old and the only time I had a mechanic make a home visit was when I burned out the motor and had to have a new BIGGER one bolted to the table. Otherwise clean and oil frequently.
