THX. Luckily, I didn't remove the horizontal arm shaft. The puzzle pieces are the needle bar, presser foot, bobbin winder, tensioner, and flywheel. Reassembly of the parts look doable with the help of your references and the MUV cleaning/oiling YouTube video--only thing MUV tutorial doesn't address is needle bar.
Maybe 128 will be back in business after this weekend. Fingers crossed.

The needle bar and presser foot will take some adjustment. Maybe the manuals will be some help. Dig through Rain's blog, he has the best info on the flywheel. Keep us posted.

Can't quite remember why this process was interrupted some time ago, but I'm in gear now! Thanks everyone.

You were smart to bag assemblies separate. If you have a leftover part it narrows down the search as to where it goes quite a bit.

In other news, I have some really great friends down in Georgia that saw a Feldman SM in a shop down there a while back and sent me a pic. I told them that I liked it. Well, yesterday they went there and bought it for me and it should be here Sat. Really great friends. I am very excited about this project. It is missing a couple of things but I like a challenge.

Now that is cool. I can't wait to see the restore/cleanup thread for this one!

That one is way beyond my abilities. The area below the needle is interesting. Does it clamp onto a table?
Just want to add that that Grant, I went to your Facebook page for Sew Restored and if you ever get the urge to teach classes, they'd be very popular. You do some amazing stuff.

Kenmorerulesall, Thank you for the nice compliment. I am going to do SM Basic Maintenance classes for my local quilting guild.
