Totallly agree. Don't let rewiring a machine determine a price. Most, if not all, vintage machines should be rewired. The process is not that complicated. Most likely there is someone in everyone's networking who can do rudimentary wiring required on SMs.
That being said, I'm sorry the machine is sold. But, don't despair, there are many out there.
