-There- it's probably not a great price.
Here, a machine in that sort of shape that isn't a centennial, or a blackside, or with the Singercraft and other accessories lists around $75 - 100.

One owner, and has been in storage for 25 years.
Nice looking machine! The power cords to that motor are likely short leads that have marettes (sp?) tying them to the main wiring for the motor under the cover that's under the motor. I really doubt you'd need to replace the motor over the wires. I just did one, a BA3-8 I think? It was simple. Easier than a potted motor by far.
