It took 5 minute to do a rubdown with Sewing Machine Oil. Leave excess on. Wait 30 minutes, re-apply SM Oil again. Wipe off. That's it.
What you see in the first picture is a DRY surface. the oil re-hydrated it just fine. I expect in about a week or two I will need to do it again, but that should be the last time.
Good news Flipping the face right side up did the trick, she sews now! (Noisy little bugger though)

I though folks would like to see the final post cleanup shots.
(Confession: The silvered decals in the front left are strictly MY FAULT. I had just switched from cleaning the hand wheel to the paint and I was rubbing WAY to hard at first. 15 Seconds.... that is all it took, kick, kick, kick.)
The first pic is how I protected the faceplate while de-rusting the metal bits. That is Brasso.
