Anyone have info on this machine? My wife had this stored in

TIA


Since no expert has waded in, I'll offer my off-the-cuff opinion. A
google search turned up a similar machine offered at a Goodwill
store three years ago for U.S. $30.00.

The auction ended, it does not indicate whether the machine sold or
not.

None show up in an eBay search, and I don't find any collectors
groups pining for that machine.

Having been stored "for years" in a garage (without proper
maintenance and lubrication?) does not bode well for the condition
of the machine. Unless it has high sentimental value to your wife's
daughter, I doubt it is worth the cost of shipping.
