I have everything in a box, and I realize that it matters if I have all the
parts and things like that. I'm just interested if it is worth restoring to
a working condition, for a sewing machine around the shop. I like to take
tarp and make a cover or two, that is my only goal. My best to you
all....Grandpa Peter

I'd vote yes.
Especially if you like repairing things.

If you do not like restoring, or you do not have the time, there
is a large group of people out there who would like/love to
restore something like that and put it back into service. So,
please consider not scrapping it if you decide to not restore.
(including me)

I recently restored a Singer 66 class machine it sews like a
champ, just an old 1928 singer straight stitch but a very nice
stitch and it sounds pleasant too.
