Nice- but not plastic. This series from Pfaff are aluminum die castings. It may not be as new as what you think. Pop the top off and the mfr. date "clock" is cast in the underside of the cover. The IDT is a neat feature and can be disengaged if desired. If you got the case with it, it has some value as witnessed by the asking prices on E-bay. They ain't worth that much, but around here bring 2-300 $ if in decent condition. Careful with the oiling on the nylon cogs/cams, and around the stitch selector/handwheel end. These really were an engineering masterpiece for their time. Great sewers too.
