If you're wondering what the value is for a restored machine and cabinet, I suggest you look at estate sales, craigs list and maybe eBay sold sales in your area. They don't bring a lot of money as a rule.

From your description of the drawers, I'm assuming it's a treadle. If so, it may have a nice value to a certain market segment. The Amish quilt and don't use electricity. Since the 206k is capable of zig-zag, that might be a market for it.
However, the upside is probably $100.00, unless you find that certain person who wants zig-zag, a modern machine and a treadle. Then you might get more. It's unique, so that is in your favor. Also in your favor is that there's really probably nothing wrong with it that a cleaning and oiling won't cure.

Benny™purple, I believe you will find very few people on this board that are from your part of the world, let alone know about the Georgian Lari.
A good analogy of what a sewing machine is worth can be found at "How Much Is My Machine Worth?" Question Answered
I know most of us here think of the 206K as a domestic machine, however according to https://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_mac...s-200-299.html there were several 206K machines made for industrial use.
The one thing to make note of is that they all use 206x13 needles. There are not as many types and sizes available of this system of needles as the 130/705 system.
As I usually respond, I will include the following:
We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...020-01-17-.pdf
Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "Upload" button.
I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.

Some additional info regarding reducing images at post #4 and images for the scroll and upload button can be found at #5 of quilt block ID?
Another way to post pictures can be found at 2021/2022, 2.5” Birthday Swap
Or simply - Make sure pictures are smaller than 2MB
Click on red "Reply" button
Click on the paper clip icon
Click browse - choose picture/s. (only 5 allowed per post)
Once they show up as being loaded, Scroll over to the right side and click on "Upload"
After the pictures show up as being attached, you can close that window and go back to the screen to finish posting your post.
