Made in the DDR! I am not really confident that this is an Egyptian-market machine The power plug looks like someone (from Germany or Eastern Europe) bought a machine with a different type of plug and adapted it for use with "Schuko" sockets at some point using a plug he had lying around. That plug definitely looks much older than the rest of the machine - might even be bakelite? Then again, technological progress in the GDR was slow, so they might have still been producing plugs that looked like that in the 1980s...
