Hi there, maybe someone here could help me. I saw this vintage Singer machine in a thrift store yesterday. Cost was only $24.99, but I wasn't sure if I should buy it because it looked to be in somewhat bad shape - might need a lot of work to get it working again. I also have no idea what model this is and if you can still get parts for it...sorry but I've never owned a vintage machine before, but am curious since I've heard good things about them.

Can anyone tell by looking at these pictures I took with my phone whether it would be worth me going back and buying it? I don't want to have to put more than $100 into fixing it up, unless you tell me it's worth a lot more than that, LOL. Thanks for your help and any info. you can give.

It took me awhile and some effort to get the machine out of the table - the thread holder scraped against the inside.

No plate covering the bobbin case

There is some wiring damage in the base of the machine but the belt seems to be in tact
