Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.

Ok, thanks for the links. So is Murphy's not recommended at all among members here or is it just not something people use? There seems to be a number of people online who talk about it being a good product for Sewing Machine cabinets.

I have read of some that use Murphy's. I have had such good results with Glenn's method that I haven't. I would say it would depend on the condition of the wood to begin with. Knowing my luck I would try it on something that it would make it worse than what I started with. My thinking is that it would get in between the finish and the wood and swell and make bad spots.

Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.

We have finally got this machine and base all cleaned up and in as good of shape as possible for our amateur research and abilities. But it's doing far far better than when we found it. If I can go back through my messages and remember how to post pictures, I will.
New issue though, we finished cleaning it and noticed that now that the Balance Wheel won't turn without being very rough. We have literally not done anything to it that could have caused that. Any thoughts?

I didn't re read all the posts, but has the balance wheel ever spun nicely for you? I consider a VS machine to be well oiled if it will spin 3 revolutions from a quick spin of the wheels/ Turn it upside down and oil all places where metal ouches metal, oil the por holes, take tehe faceplate off dig out fuzz and oil moving bits.
