new old machine

i spent the weekend in NY cleaning out my notMIL's attic (oh,
bad 70s flashbacks with the clothes we were sorting! more
polyester than i *ever* want to see again).
amongst the ruins of many years of stuff put away to deal
with later, i found a sewing machine. it's a White Domestic
(813-7 molded into the bottom). it's had an electric motor
added, but it can run by treadle (if i had the treadle bits).
it's dark brown with gold decoration.
the obvious missing bits are bobbin case, cover for the
bobbin, & the electic cord. i can't find a make/model plate on
it.
where can i find info on this beast? i'd like to fix it up if
possible, otherwise it's a doorstop :)
