I only got a quick look at it, but rust is plainly visible on all the exposed metal; in fact, the presser bar lifter is just about eaten away. The machine runs; it didn't have a needle or thread, so I'm not sure if it works properly when it's running.

What could I anticipate as the cost of starting from scratch to get this into working order? And would I want to put that kind of $$ into a 66?
