The model R is rare and hard to find.some sold for $100 to $1000's
I threw my cabinet out. It was junk! I got mine for FREE from a garage sale. There were no accessories. If yours has those and runs well someone might be willing to pay $25 maybe $50. Look on your local Craigslist to see what vintage machines are listed for. Keep in mind what people are asking is not necessary what they are getting. I just bought a Japan made White with solid cabinet for $12. She was asking $20. There were no accessories but it does work!
