I would like to fix it up and get it running. My husband will help with the refinishing of the cabinet. It seems to me that the most obvious place to start would be a belt. Do you know what I should buy? I have seen them on E-Bay, but with different diameters and lengths. Also, does this model have a name?

Thanks so much!
Go to Treadleon.net to get information about putting new belts on, and which one to buy.
Your decals are Sphinx, and look really good!!
Here's where to look up your machine by the serial number:

Billy (resident expert) has 2 tutorials on here about cleaning them. Follow them...be careful when you use to clean the machine so you don't damage the decals.

You have a gem!! :-)
