I had a 127 (sphinx on it), sold it on the last move, just nowhere to put it.
If it won't turn freely, oil it up and let it sit overnight...mine was frozen solid after sitting in a barn for awhile, took a lot of oil and good whack to the bottom. Be careful with solvents like 409 or windex on the gold leaf trim, it will turn it silver or take it off all together, you can usually get a lot of the dirt build up off just rubbing it with sewing machine oil.
Congrats!
