What is the make/model of the machine? Depending on that, it could be worth fixing. I've actually picked up some nice machines from the thrift store, ie Pfaff 260 for $25. People who give them up usually don't know what they had or how to use them. Most just need a good cleaning and oiling and perhaps some adjustments.

Nancy, if you ever give up on your machine, would you consider parting with the cord and foot pedal assembly? - I just picked up a cute machine at a thrift store. Looks like the previous owner's puppy chewed on the plug. It still works, but for how long or how safely is the question. Thank you!

There's nothing wrong with the newer plastic sewing machines. Most of them are plastic now and not as heavy as the old metal ones. You said that the needle moved smoothly but what you need to know is if the needle thread picks up the bobbin thread. If you don't know how to thread the machine either check the manual or ask someone in the shop to thread it. If anyone there sews, they will know how to thread it. If the machine makes a stitch go ahead and get it. It the bobbin thread is not picked up by the needle thread IT WON'T STITCH and then you'll know that the timing is off. That's a repair job and will be way more than what you paid in the thrift shop.

I looked up the machine and found this threading diagram

Here is a good place for other free solutions, as well as if you need parts for your vintage machine.
