With all of the many resources available, there really aren't any good excuses for the ridiculous prices out there.

Does it have a foot pedal/power cord?
I'd probably get it either way.

The water damage can often be hidden. I use Howard Feed n Wax
Electrical is really not hard. Mark the wires. Unplug. Go slow.
Especially the unplug part. My left arm and heart are here to tell you that forgetting to unplug then working on a sewing machine's electrical sucks! Yes, I felt like a dunce after that.

If you've ever wanted to just shoot a sewing project, this might be the machine to do it with. Does anyone have one of these? http://atlantacraigslist.org/sat/atq/4040946735.html

Now, the SW sewing machine is one thing - but if you ever come across a Singer hand gun - they are worth a fortune! Singer tired making firearms for the war, but didn't make very many. It's interesting that the same type of tooling that worked well for sewing machines also worked well for firearms.
