I am inheriting my grandfather's 100 year old sewing machine that has been sitting on the floor for the past 7 years because it is too heavy for anyone to lift. For my birthday, my mother agreed to give it to me and get it in good working order. Besides the obvious oiling, what else would be a common thing to check out before I can use it?

(note: in the 70's or so, my grandpa updated it so that it's electric and has a pedal)
