Wish I could show the motor, but then I would have to buy the machine, and now that know more about it. It's not, worth it.

Tend to agree- if it were around $200 the parts might be worth the effort

Re: Need help identifying a machine
I believe it's a Royal, made by Columbia, but sold under the Royal name. It's been re-motored by the look of it. The rest is probably legit, however the horn edge looks a bit flea bitten. Has the crimped edge been cut away?? No, not worth $395. Even at $200 your money would be better spent by putting it towards a better machine.
