I'll take a look at them. Thanks Gerry

FWIW, no plastic on which I've tried it has been affected by De-Oxit. In your
case acetone would certainly be a good solvent to avoid IMO. Here are some
industrial sewing machine websites:

I am a little hesitant to use Acetone in this case because there
seem to be a lot of plastic parts on this thing. I will have to
find the on/off switch and mounts because they have already
decayed and fallen apart probably due to ozone, so I don't want
to get anything near this that is a known plastic eater.
This is actually a serger and on the cheap side at around $300
when my wife bought it about 20 or 25 years ago.
I need to find one of those heavy duty machine to do some leather
or 4-5 layers of denim. Is there some special foot that does
those double fold seams with the two rows of stitching. I know it
will need a two needle machine. It's funny but my wife had a
double needle machine and got rid of it because her mom gave her
an old White. Oh well.

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.

I used Boeshield T-9, which is not really advertised as penetrating oil but
does that job very well.

A little pricey, but it was recommended for marine use as a all-around
preservative and lubricant, so I gave it a try and it worked like a champ.

What penetrating oil did you use? I have an older seized machine also.
