If you love sewing machines, it's hard to trash one. That said, I don't think I would put much money into it.

It doesn't have a lot going for it. It's not pretty. It's not likely that it's going to become a nice quiet sounding machine with that drive wheel. You aren't going to sew on it. It's not likely that you can to sell it for what you put into it.

But..it's a challenge.

Maybe Janey will have some good ideas.

edited to add: There is this sewing machine repair shop here. The old man retired and one of his techs bought it. They used to have an attic full of old parts, but they have moved and may not have kept those parts. I might try contacting him. It's Mr. Sewing Machine in Dallas.
(They had a part I needed for a Montgomery Ward machine.)
