Cleaning Out An Older Machine

[Undeadzombiehunter]

While I am very happy with my seiko stw-8b (consew 226) i want to keep it that way.

In side the machine, and I mean right up inside is a lot of old lint and gunk.

I assume it would be a good idea to clean this out, but just cant figure how? It almost needs a hose out.

I have heard of older machines being soaked in kero, but not sure about the later models.

And know that after whatever i do it would need a good re-oil. I do want to pull the machine apart if it can be avoided.

Any ideas.
