Hope this is the right place to put this I found this little girl in the cellar does anyone know anything about her like is she worth fixing up she was caked in mud and I have cleaned most of it off but am leary of plugging her in. Her little gold sticker on the front says DeLuxe Family Sewing Machine Japan and inside the case on the machine it has number 14710

Beautiful machine!
Have you oiled all moving parts with sewing machine oil? If so, and if the wires are not damaged somewhere, I would probably plug her in to try her out. If the wires are old and stiff, I would probably have my husband re-wire her before using regularly.
