Vintage Machines / Old Singer 28k - should I keep it?

[ You are not allowed to view attachments ] DH spotted this in a local charity shop and bought it for me as my ‘Christmas present’.
He thinks he’s doing me a favour but I think it will end up being a dusty ornament. It has bits missing and I think he paid too much (€40) but he’s delighted with himself, so I’m pretending to be pleased for now.
I can clean it and it appears to work (handle moves and needle goes up and down), although I’ve never used that type of shuttle before.
Should I try to replace the missing bits and keep hold of it?
