It looks like an early model GSO, it seems to have the GSO alt bearings and tube mounts. Can't tell from the photos if it a single or dual speed ficser but i'd guess single. The finderscope is scratched up if you enarge the photo, and that base has gaffer tape wrapped around the vertical support low down which probably means the chipboard is delaminating.

If you approach it as a reconstruction project it might be worth a bid. You'll need a new base but you can make one out of marine ply using the old pieces as tempates. More photos would help a lot, especially around the bottom. Good luck.
