If it is a EM machine I would jump all over this thing and I really don't need another project. I just don't see how you could go wrong for that amount of money. that being said, they can be a pain to work on, but if you use common sense it is really no more of a challenge to repair than a pin. If you have the room, I say go for it! Good luck
BTW took the family out for supper last week and spent nearly that much for the meal.
