Total restoration, assumed a few years back. but looks very good.
but ,again ,not familiar with this specific model, & that era's mechanics (parts).

Clearly not the original wood base. Machine could have come out of a full wood floor cabinet as many of the extraordinary were originally made.

Wha makes you say not the original base ? Or are you saying the base is the style of an upright floor model that has been removed from its stand ?

You are correct - I stand corrected. This is a restored machine and the wood base could be fully original and refinished as well.

It is the original base but it most likely would have been painted.

Neat to see this exact color scheme on T.V. after I worked a deal to buy this machine. With all the crazy color schemes I see on these I am guessing the outside is original. sorry about the Poor picture captured off the T.V. Rick B
