Perfect for a first project. My first Victa was a 1990 Standard 2 (identical to this but grey - actually might have been 1 below this green one as mine has the more basic wheels) - I paid $15 for it with catcher

I see a muffler rust hole at the front (probably patchable, but a very clean deck - no rear left rust near the handle mount.

All round looks very reasonable - rip the muffler off and have a look for piston scoring before having a go at repairing - wouldn't suggest this before sale as they can be a PITA to get back on

At the very least, its good for a play around with the carby - the starter alone is worth $25 online

Hard to check for compression without isolating the decomp valve, you could just try to compare the degree of wooshing noise with your keystart commando - that being said a straight fueled engine still gives a decent woosh sound from the decomp, so no easy way. I would suggest removing the spark plug and checking for speckles of aluminium transfer - a sure sign of engine damage.
