Ours is almost 50 yrs old also. Bought it in the French Quarter when we were first married. I actually have only had to add the mineral oil one time ! Works perfectly. Make sure you are keeping all the crumbs cleaned up from inside. We make pasta about 1x a week so ours gets a lot of use.
Thanks very. Have to get some mineral oil. We don't make it that often, just isn't enough time and energy. Perhaps 2x a year. I think my MiL whos machine it was, made it more often.
