I posted this on the SMC Power Tool section in that it was about some old iron I acquired recently (a vintage bandsaw with some limited resaw capacity).To be used to rough down stock to manageable size before using the hand tools.But I will return to my roots and show/ask your advice...My concern is how to clean and get it back to reasonable appearance and usage...I imagine i can just clean the housing etc with the same approach I'd use to clean a vintage handplane i.e., remove grease, WD-40, steel wool, high grit sandpaper etc..and lots of patience and soft cloths...Your suggestions will help... Here are the pics of the "beast"
