Definitely worth 75.00! You can get a motor belt from Allen International to fit it, or if memory serves, it can be treadled; It should have a knock out in the front of the machine bed to run the treadle belt through. It is too bad she didn't show front pictures. I'll never understand people who take sewing machine pictures of the backside of the machine.
The Super Nova is a really cool machine. It has a circular needle plate that you turn to accommodate the sewing you are doing, for instance straight stitch, just spin the plate to the straight stitch section. It also has 2 motor speeds, a high gear and a low gear for heavier sewing. It takes high shank feet and cams which, if they are not with the machine, are available on Ebay. You have to be diligent and quick to bid as there is demand for them. Make sure it has the bobbin case as it is proprietary. You can find original ones or after market ones are available. I can't say how well the aftermarket cases work. The Necchi's of that era are well built machines with really tight tolerances. They like to be kept clean and oiled or they will gum up. They also like to be used. Wonderful machines.
