Wow!!! You got a deal at the price you paid for your machine!!! You can refinish the case for your machine. If you need help with it, just go on the vintage machine post and there are a lot of helpful people there who can tell you just how to fix the case for your machine, and anything else you need to know on cleaning up your machine.
You will find that you do have a wonderful machine. What year is she? Can you post pictures of her? Did you name her, or is it a he?
