Before throwing out the corroded parts for my Singer 99K, the original needle plate and presser foot, I did a little aggressive clean up with a my Dremel, a grinder bit followed by an oil-stone. Off came the corrosion, but so did the mirror-like shine on both parts.
Are they still usable? Definitely yes, in fact the foot is now back on the machine as my standard working foot. I really like the 1/8" narrow leg on this foot. The needle plate looks fine, if a but dull, but again it is totally functional. However I am keeping the new plate on the machine as it has seam guide markings, unlike the original plate.
