It has not been repainted, the decals are in place but worn. I took photos of the case in the areas you mentioned. There is nothing on the inside lid of the case. No tray. The case is wood though. In the little bit of research that I did I have noticed the following that might be relevant: The silver wheel where the bobbin is placed for winding is not solid, it is hollowed out. The decals stop at the bobbin thread holder on the base and do not go around the corner. The base is one solid piece with a hole for the plug connection to come through. It is not two pieces. I am attaching photos, if I missed anything, let me know and I will be happy to take more. Thanks for your help.
