That machine is common as the cold and you can find them in a lot better condition for that price. I would offer $20 and see what happens and settle around $30 at most.
All of my 27's like that in basically the same condition with cabinets I pay around $15 for. The belt and missing plate can easily be found on ebay for roughly $20 shipping included.
That would be a perfect candidate for a repaint.
