<upd_detl>main unit; main part
Examples from ALC:
本体は鳴き声を分析し、犬の気持ちを日本語の言葉とイラストで画面上に表示します。
The main unit analyzes the barks and shows the dog's feelings on the display using Japanese phrases and 
illustrations.
.
はやぶさ本体は再突入時に燃え尽きたが、カプセルはオーストラリアに無事着地した。
Hayabusa's main unit burned up on re-entry while the capsule landed successfully in Australia.
.
エピクロスの誤りは訂正しよう、彼の真理の本体は維持しよう、
The errors of Epicurus shall be corrected, the body of his truth retained
.
ペン本体は、ソフトで快適なラバーグリップ。インクカートリッジ、ブロックも交換可能。
The main body of the pen has a soft and pleasant to the touch rubber grip, and the ink cartridges and blocks 
can be interchanged.
[presumably ペン本体 is the part you hold when writing (i.e. the main part) rather than the cap of the pen. 
Here is an analogous example which refers to a car radiator and its cap:
ラジエター本体のキャップを開け、...]
.
Also, the first line of Genius WaEi's definition is
"the main [central, principal] part"</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I don't think "this machine; this appliance" is right. I'm not seeing it in any eijiro examples (which Marcus cited as a reference in 2012).
Daijr and koj don't mention ほんだい. I think it can be dropped.</upd_detl>
