Smile Betsy Ross Electric Sewing Machine - use it?

My husband surprised me with a Betsy Ross electric sewing machine he found at a yard sale for $15! So cute! The wooden case has hardly any red vinyl left and looks terrible but the machine has no rust. Does anyone have one and do you use it? We will have to do some repair. The switch doesn't work. We are going to spiff up the case and put the machine back into working condition. The machine moves perfectly when I turn the hand wheel and it still has the belt on it. I found that needles are still available to fit. We like to pick up old machines in disrepair and fix them. I confess to being a machine-aholic.
