Just want to share this pic of my sewing machine. I want to know if attachments are hard to come by. The model number is 117-959. Any idea of resale value also?
There are some sellers on eBay who have the machine + accessories. You could always ask them to break up the set and sell you the accessories separately. Some are willing because a "bid" i the and is worth two in the bush (to misquote the famous saying of a bird in the hand). Here are today's listings:

As for the value, it depends on if it is working, you have the book, and the overall condition of the cabinet.
Right now on eBay all of the machines that were listed are unsold (so the value is nothing until they sell):

You may want to watch the active sales from the first link to get SOLD prices and that will give you today's value--as long as you see an apples to apples match.
Post back what you decide! This machine is a work horse and can last you forever if well cared for!!

I've, inherited my mom's Good Housekeeper sewing machine with cabinet and foot feed. The model # is 401tw93818. Please help! I would love to know its value.
How much can I sell my old vintage sewing machine for?
I see from the pictures this machine has a White motor, which probably indicates it is a White machine, but not necessarily.
Is this a White machine?
Generally, a machine in a cabinet/desk is not as valuable as a portable model, as more people can find room for a portable but not for a cabinet.
The final value will be whatever the market for old machines happens to be in your area.
In my area, mid-Florida, this machine would probably be worth about $46-$50 but may not be a quick sell as I have seen similar machines on the curb for free.
You could try listing on Facebook Marketplace for $60 - $70 to see how the market goes in your area. Reduce the price if no one makes an offer.
Here are some links that offer information about your machine or a similar machine.
