Vintage Sewing Machines

Could anyone lead me down a rabbit hole of resources on restoring an old Singer sewing Machine?


My husband's grandmother died long before he was born, and his dad snagged this up literally off the side of the road when his grandfather threw it out in the 70's and had been holding on to it since. He then passed it to us, since I sew. It's a 1919 Singer 66. I really want to clean it up and try to get it running, but it's sew dusty and I don't want to damage the stickers by just washing it. The cabinet is in AWFUL condition.

ETA: There are some parts where the dust is caked on and doesn't come off just by wiping. And I just realized I typed "sew dusty" haha


Here are some pictures:


These show you have really dirty it really is.
