While you're waiting on delivery you might try Deoxit. If that doesn't work, a half and half mixture of ATF and acetone. I've had good luck freeing up similar problems with both of them. When trying either one I put moderate back and forth pressure on the frozen part every time I think about it as well as more solvent. When I finally detect the slightest movement, I put on more solvent and more back and forth pressure. It usually starts turning pretty soon after that. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - There may still be a solid dependable "modern" computer augmented sewing machine with all the current automated aids for sewing. My wife used one of that brand for many years, and then gave it to our daughter when I gave her a new one for Xmas. She used the new one for many years until she died, and now my daughter is sewing on it; having given the first machine to my grand daughter. The only problem with the second machine, which is computer controlled via a pc board, was when lightning transients or a voltage surge destroyed the PC board. I bought a new pc board from a dealer for about $100 and the machine has been good as new since then. The brand is Viking, made by Husqvarna in Sweden. The prices range from $3000 to $7000 which explains why many people have never heard of them. Dealers often demonstrate their "toughness" by sewing two pieces of tin together.
