It looks like you have a Martin Straight Stitch Sewing Machine that was probably made in Japan sometime after the end of WWII - after 1945.
This is most likely a clone of another brand machine, but it must have been made for a small company or store, as the name Martin is not listed on published lists of known 'clone' machines.

There may be more than 5,000 different vintage Japanese sewing machine "brands".

Someone on a sewing machine forum may be able to provide more information; especially if you need help with a manual or parts as well as instructions on 'fixing' things.
You can try several forums.

I did not find a free manual but this on-line copy seems like a good deal. Actual cost will be determined if you decide to buy.
