Wow!
What a bargain at only £150! You can tell the current owner has taken really good care of it. Just have the blades sharpened and you’re ready to go.
The patina of rust gives it an authentic, antique look. It ought to be brought to the “Antiques Road Show”.
I can’t imagine that that machine could ever be made to work properly.

it'll never work properly with that blasted air ram on it
first one I had was so rusted it sat in a bath of paraffin (kerosine to you Bill
) for a week before anything freed up at all, and its still going strong, so I wouldn't write one off ever!
besides some sucker would buy the pneumatic add-on on ebay for £150 if it was cleaned up. Then you'd see it back on ebay every fortnight as one person after another realised all they do is wrench the moulding out of your hands and throw it round the workshop

Having seen the photo, I would not like to have my foot underneath the pedal when it all kicks-off.
