I too own a A107, from 1974. I got it last fall from a fellow member on this site. It was in new condition, being dormant in it's original box for nearly 37 years. It's my daily driver, with the exception of a small repair to the timer, it has been working flawlessly. I couldn't be happier. They may not have been the fanciest out there, but they had what mattered most, dependability. Machines like that should never end up in the dump. I sincerely hope someone takes you up on your kind offer and gives your machine a new lease on life.
