It is sold by all industrial sewing machine dealers.

Members brmax Posted July 22, 2018 Members Report Posted July 22, 2018 Some of the fabric, craft or box stores have little bottles of real sew machine oil. This works in the mean time as your qt. or gallon order is in the mail. It all sounds great for ya on the machine find, good work there. Good day Floyd Quote

I was also thinking of taking it to a local sewing machine shop and see how much it would cost them to clean it ot and adjust it. Its pretty dusty on the inside and i like the idea of starting the machine off in the best condition i can get it in. Quote
Members brmax Posted July 23, 2018 Members Report Posted July 23, 2018 That table top plywood looks great. If you have access to a shop vac, some very small hose or plastic tubing can be taped to the vac hose. With this its possible to easily get in the areas filled with textile dust and threads. I always found this time consuming work to be best prior to any liquid cleaning. For sure trying to shorten the time frame a professional is required to spend at it, times money as they say. I do understand we cannot do it all. On the otherhand these task do require several items for the task and benefit with a big flat sheet pan for liquid collection. I found the cleaning brushes in kits for Spray paint Guns work superb. Good day Floyd Quote
