Great job. I do notice that you haven't replaced the race oil wick. Some links showing how to install a new wick:

Fabulous job on the clean up.

That looks fantastic! If you're taking in machines for cleaning, just let me know. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png

Kelly, Check for a private message. Please.

Thanks, everyone! I did enjoy taking it bit by bit, seeing the golden dried oil "patina" covering everything quickly turn to the clean silver/steel color it should be. Very satisfying work :)
Janey - I learned about the wick from another thread on here (likely one you replied to with the same links, since I remember watching that video you linked!). I appreciate that, since mine didn't have even a nub of a wick in it and I had no idea what that cone shaped wire was for. I just haven't made the time to go to my stash to find some wool felt yet, but I will - thanks!
I have a question about the base, but I think I'll start a new thread for that.
