I'm watching a "vintage Singer" (no other info) on Goodwill's site. It's NOT a Featherweight, it's just a portable. The case shows a good bit of wear, as does the chrome on the throatplate.

So, my question is, does it increase the value or decrease the value if I were to acquire this machine and refinish the case and/or refurbish/replace the chrome?

I acquired a Featherweight last week, and now find myself bidding on other antique machines.
