Rust removal on old machine

[Brooksie]

Hello folks, I have my first machine ever a Singer 7-34 with small feet that I want to clean and sell. It was sold to me dipped  and stripped of paint.  Over the past 20 years it has developed rust, even after applications of wax. My question is. Can I dip the whole machine in an electrolysis bath to clean? Should I remove the hook first. Any input would be welcomed. It runs well and smooth, but I would like it show nicely for the next set of hand to use. cheers and thanks, James

Send us some pics so we can see how bad it is rusted.  I used Evaporust. to remove rust.

are you planning on taking it all the way apart to clean the internals as well? if you are going to dip it i would fully disassemble.

looks like its just surface rust on the machine case.. should be able to clean that up and make it look real nice.

Post some pics when its finished !!
