The price is all right, especially if it's intact, and in nice, usable condition. I have always expected a good clean up and oiling with the machines I have bought. A missing belt is minor and easy to replace. If it's a back clamp model it's a pluss if it comes with a few accessories. They can take a bit longer to find, at least at the right price. There is a converter for back clamp to basic side clamp (low shank) feet and attatchment and in itself not a problem.
