Not necessarily, look at this
COMMON Singer 27. I paid $15 for it and its treadle, it was functioning but looked rough as a corn cob.
After the repaint I have been offer $100 just for the machine head!
I still have the treadle (its in my studio as the main power source) and the cabinet was restored and is in my attic waiting on a set of irons.
But
BEFORE you do a repaint find out about all you can about the machine its rarity and so forth.
