This is used and I assume not working (due to type and age of machine). I made a video showing the mechanics appear good - not sticking. *** Missing one of the metal plates where the needle is.
There are scratches near the edge of where the needle is (see last pic).
The pedal cord is dry rotten and wired are exposed. The actual plug in cord wasn't dry rotten.
Serial Number 554218. The motor says Safety Electric Motors USA - must have been put on after the fact. The research states this is more than likely Japan made in late 1950's.
The machine is really pretty / ornate with stainless steel / chrome?? I'm not sure of the metal but it's display worthy. The case is very worn / ripped but it's holding the machine - it's not displayed worthy.
