It's always easier to find a new owner for these machines when they are in clean good condition. The old veneer usually turns out very nice when repaired; all you need a steam iron, clamps and wood glue. Any missing pieces can be replaced by cutting out a new piece and it's not too difficult as a DIY job. Don't strip anything too harshly, clean gently, the black finish on the machine looks like it's in very nice condition, and the cabinet can be improved upon with various polishes, or you can do it more thoroughly with new layers of shellac.
If you sort it out your self, you will in the least be very tempted to try it out :-)
