Thanks BB - all I have to do is wait for delivery :-)
I thought I would add a few more images and get views on my rather uninformed opinions in relation to the condition of the machine.

It would seem to me that the reel and bottom blade need sharpening (along with a bit of straightening on two blades on the reel which have hit something hard) but it is still OK generally.

Chains and sprockets seem to be generally in good condition?

If anyone can see any faults I have missed i would greatly appreciate advice. [Linked Image]
