thanks so much. I am loving my new old treadle. I'm wondering if you will give info on how to clean/maintain the cast iron treadle assembly? Right now it is very dusty but seems to work fine. I don't want to mess it up by using the wrong products.

One question for my Davis model. Should I take the stitch length plate off? The knob is attached to a lever underneath but I think there is a teeny set screw that I may have to get a smaller screw driver.

I like the Davis machines they are very well built and they also badged for other makers. Looking forward to seeing the progress photos!!!!
