Bakelite?

Just picked up a model 515 at a garage sale. Unfortunately, the chord is acatually burned off where it enters the back panel. I suspect somebody did indeed try the coffee maker scenario or something equally dopey with this one. Is it worth trying to fix? Anybody know its value in working condition?

thanks,
Rick
