Some people just don't get that old and antique don't always mean valuable. I have some antiques around here that the only real value is sentimental, and to me, they are priceless. To others, not so much. But at least, none are dangerous or disgusting.
Always check wires on these old machines. You are right they can be very dangerous. DH checks mine very thoroughly. He's rewired quite a few for me.
