White Model 764
I have a White Model 764 that is nearly like yours. Is the name pippi longhandle the name on the case or is that the name of the machine. As near as I can tell my machine was introducted at the New York World's Fair in 1964.

What a beauty! I'd love to have one of those! The last machine I found at a thrift store was a Brother with way too many parts missing to make it worth my while, but I agree that it's always a good idea to look inside those cases and cabinets. 
I use rubbing alcohol to clean old varnished oil and crud out of the inside of my machines before I oil them. Works great - you might want to try it to get rid of the red goo.

Thank you. Can't wait to see how she sews when all of the goo is gone.

What a beauty they are, yours looks great! The one introduced at the Worlds fair was the straight stitch model I believe. I added the name to the case in my photo editing program...LOL
