Is it cheap or well made? I inherited an old sewing machine, a Graybar NSMCO model RBR. Can anyone tell me what kind of a machine it is? Made for the home seamstress? A heavy duty unit? A commercial unit? It certainly looks well made, with a steel case that weighs a ton. I’m trying to decide whether to keep it to use myself or sell it. Thanks for any advice you can give.

All I know about that sewing machine is that it’s vintage. It’s so old you can’t even find much information on it online. There are people however who still maintain their Graybar NSMCO model RBR, because if you do a search for that you find their questions. Yet there isn’t much information on there. I couldn’t even find a manual for you. That sewing machine must be worth a lot of money.
