    Spoiler if the cabinet is original to the machine I would leave it. If a collector buys it and wants it restored the more original parts you have the more it will be worth.

    I have one hanging around here for decoration. LOL

    You should be able to get at least $75 out of it. But research it, the Singer "red eye" machines are the most desirable, and the quilters still use them. Some can bring a nice price. Do NOT use any solvent based cleaners on the gold decals if it has them. They rub off easily, or they will turn silver.

    Make sure it's turning freely, if not you can sometimes soak it down with PB blaster or wd40 underneath and let it set for awhile and a good pull will many times free it up (worked for me).
