It is going to cost you a few $ to put in back in shape and you may be able to buy a more complete one for less. New wiring and a foot peddle $25-$40, bobbin case $50-$80, machine case $30-$60, possible motor re-wire $30-$70, attachments anywhere from $5 and up depending on what you buy and from where. Tne second hand store in Guelph (near Lens Mills) often has attachments for machines resonably priced (buttonholer $3) but a Singer dealer if you can find one will want a lot more. I wouldn't want to spend much more than $50 on this machine as repairs may cost you in the $200 range and I sometimes see Featherweights on Kijiji that are complete for less than this. I see that the sites for parts that Coyote recommended are American and I haven't been able to locate parts that cheaply in Canada.
