My mom's finish isn't too bad so I will probably leave it. My mom, two DS', both grandmothers, and I all sewed on this machine. Many hours are on the machine.
The 500A has more features than the 503A but it was essentially the same machine externally. It does not make it less desirable at all and if I could get one I would. But the 500A was the powerhouse top of the line be all end all machine of its day.
But $40 you can not go wrong with that any day!!!!
