Although not a popular manufacturer that is well worth $100. A little lubricant will fix the slow reels. I don't think that type of machine would need electricity but many machines have lights on top the them, etc. Nice find. I was at an estate sale Friday and they had a machine from England but I figured it was not worth the $450 they were asking. At another sale they had a Mills High Top but were asking $1500 for it. First time I ever saw machines at two different sales on the same day.
