I'd take it to the local repair man. He should be able to identify it for you. Good luck with it.

That looks pretty much like the Singer I used in high school 30 some odd years ago! I think it's a "Singer Clone" from the early 70's. I did a google search for DeLuxe sewing machine from Japan and found little information. With it's all metal parts, I would guess it's a workhorse and would probably be worth the cost of a good cleaning and adjustment.

You might want to try joining the yahoo group "wefixit" for a few days and ask them about it. It's a group of sewing machine collectors and many members are professional sewing machine repairmen/women. I think that they would be able to give you a positive ID and might be able to help you troubleshoot the problems yourself.

I'm thinking it's a 60's Kenmore or Janome because my Kenmore was the same color combination.

You also have a knob missing on the left hand side of the stitch selector. There is also a lot of rust on it so this will be a labor of love to restore.

Look on the back or the side of the machine by the motor. There should be a maker and model number imprinted in the metal. If this is a foreign model, the electrical info for watts and ohm will be different.
