The model number? on the machine seems to be AF(or E?)887558
You have a really nice 128 and it is a later model so its a AF887558. I see than its missing the typical front shuttle plate but you can still find them on eBay and a few after market companies.

Thanks so much, Billy! I'll start looking on Ebay for the throat plate, haven't found one yet but I'll keep trying. Do you know what type of belt I should get? Also, and I'm sure this is a silly question, how much of a problem will those frayed wires be?
The lighting isn't great, but there are a few black wires coming out of the back of the machine, and you notice there is a frayed part where I think wiring shows through.
