Any info would be appreciated. As you can tell, I am a rookie here. Thank you.
Unless you happen to connect with a "Brother collector" the machine will go in my area (DFW) for $50. to $75 - maybe , on a good day, $100.00. The cabinet is not in good condition, so it's value is negligible.
Basically, it's just an old sewing machine. It's not to disparage the machine. It's probably a really good machine that would do a great job, since it was made by Brother. But, there are lots of old machines out there and not too many people who sew anymore. There really aren't that many collectors.

There are a few machines that will go for good money. Those are Singer featherweights, (sometimes a Singer 301) and some Bernina models.
