I think I would keep a 115, if the finish is too warped there's the option of total stripping and refinishing. The refurbishing done in those years have turned out to be unwanted so I would be as true to the original as possible in a restoration, maybe track down the correct bobbin winder and hand wheel if it's been replaced. It might not be something I would gain anything on money wise, but I would end up with a very nice rotary machine. 115 doesn't turn up as often here, I have been looking for three years now, and not seen a single one. They are easier with bobbins, feet and needles than a Wheeler and Wilson No 9.
