A Kawai-Teisco model EP 150 was up here recently, and it had the same body style, and f-holes:

Note that OP's guitar had surface-mounted pickups (no cut-outs in the top for pickups). That's a detail often found in "Teisco-type" Japanese guitars of the 60's/70's.

Restoring such a guitar--if you don't already have the hardware and electronics--might well cost more than $150, if you were to use era-correct parts (and did the work yourself):
