This machine is not in my time frame but for $25 I just could not say no...
I cleaned the dirt off, a quick wipe down with oil, that's it.

In this case I think it is a bit far gone for cleaner. (but I may do a test bit...hmmmm)
I currently plan to begin by taking them off, soft wirewheeling the rust, and then polishing them on my bench buffer.
it's funny how these start looking so "modern" when you spent the last few weeks on 1870's machines.
