Singer 500 series
So I was in the Salvation Army and saw what I believe is a Singer 500 series without the top piece on it in a case. The mechanism would move although it seemed to hang a little. It was $3.99. Do you think it is worth getting and how easy would it be to get a replacement top piece?

I don't know what the top part would cost, but at that price you could easily get your money back by selling the parts :( if you can't get the machine to run.

Grab it! Unfortunately, the clips that hold the top on are hard to get so you're likely going to have to settle for a machine that's either topless or get a top that just sets on top for looks. It doesn't effect the ability to USE the machine at all, so that's the important thing. If you buy it in a table and put it down, out of the way, you'll never see it:>

I saw a top on ebay a couple of weeks ago, for like $25. For that price, it would definitely be worth the risk. If you can't make it into what you want it to be, you can part it out!

There are many parts for the the 500's, the hardest to get is the front cover (door), at least in vg condition.

you don't 'need' the top piece or the nose door for the machine to work just fine if everything else works.
