u/Away-Ad7532

I found this on the curb. Looking to get it running but the foot pedal is broken, where can I get a replacement or how can I repair it?

I found this on Facebook marketplace and I'm tempted to but it. Is this a good deal for 450$?

Its listed as a Matsumoku Vantage Vp 700 series guitar with custom bridge cover

My father has had this for years and I want to use it but first I want to do any maintenance and cleaning it needs before I try to use it. I haven't had any luck finding a manual and im not sure exactly what model it is. Any advice would be appreciated!
