    what a lovely machine and story...
    If this machine has sat for all these years without use....you may need to have it looked at by a GOOD service man. The old oil and lube has probably turned to gunk.

    I just refurbished and basically rebuilt a vintage Viking. They're great machines. Do not force any of the dials if they're stuck. It will need servicing to get it back sewing correctly, but it would be worth it. These machines tend to lock up from non-use.

    That is a beautiful Viking Machine & Cabinet. I just know that when you use it, you will be very pleased with it.
