This is the actual machine, set in its table. I think it was made in Scotland in 1940 but I can't quite remember, I'll have to check.
It has a fabulous knee lift presser foot which is very useful.
The motor is 1/4 horsepower and mounted underneath the table.
Here are some pictures of the dismantling process.
Firstly I disconnected the electrical wires to the motor.
Then I unlooped the middle metal band, it just clipped down.
The ends then prise off, I'm not all that sure it had been cleaned recently.
Taping a shaped piece of cardboard to the vacuum cleaner nozzle worked very well for vacuuming it clean
After a thorough vacuuming

More pictures to follow in the next post and some Christmas photos as well.
