I have a green machine and it quit about 20 years ago. I went looking for parts and figured out it was made by a company in Califonia but was out of busines.

It a cool old trimmer, but can never be a original working trimmer. It’s a wall hanger.

Fix it then sell it on Craigslist. Wording would be "Vintage string trimmer...." blah blah blah.

Even if it wasn’t fixable, you could treat it like an antique piece. I know a guy who owns two vintage fire trucks that don’t run anymore, but he still keeps them as a part of his collection

Kinda like my propane powered weed eater. It does run and I still use it, but it’s quite a conversation piece. Most people have never even heard of one…..
