Is this unit worth picking up? Does it have all metal parts? It's in perfect condition at a local thrift store for $10.10.

I would walk away.
A quote from http://sewing-machines.blogspot.com/...na-necchi.html ...
"I'm afraid you won't find much defense of the 535FA from this source. The Necchis made in Italy were marvels of engineering. When it got too expensive to manufacture in Europe, Necchi outsourced production to Japan. The Japanese machines are good quality, but not quite up to the standard of the Italian machines. When it became too expensive to manufacture in Japan, Necchi looked to Taiwan. In my opinion, only mainland China makes sewing machines of lower quality than Taiwan. Your 535FA was made in Taiwan. Sorry."
Ooops, you where 10 minutes to late. It looks like I may sell this one on Craig's list. It is in perfect condition with owners manual and original sales receipt from 1985.
I'll give it a try, hell the foot pedal goes for $30 bucks. It also has a carrying case.
If it works, use it. It may work well for you. For $10, you have little to lose.
I agree with gem, for $10 you've got nothing to lose.
I wonder if my wife will notice I picked up another machine. Lol
