I would take it.
I have a very beginning machine and I am unsure how to clean it. I have brushed it out and oiled where I think it should go, but who knows.
I also have a 1903 treadle, that I took apart and forgot how to put back together. EEK!
Needless to say, someone to help take the guess work out of these things would make my sewing time more enjoyable.
