I have the same machine. I found it at the Salvation Army and bought it for $25.00. My case looked as dirty as this one but cleaned up beautifully. The machine itself looks like it barely used. I just love the machine (and the green color)! The plastic base on mine is at the end of it's life span (for plastic) so although it is still in good shape my father in law made me a wooden base to put the machine in. I kept the original plastic one to preserve whatever value this machine may have some day. Good luck! I hope you win it!
