I guess that's what it is.
Although, because TPE is a marketing company, sourcing its products
from a round the globe, the machine may have come here under another
brand name as well.
The transmission is clearly a Model 45 copy, but with a centrifugal
primary clutch. It looks well built - and with a double helix reel.
Sorry, I can't help with market value.
Hope this helps.
