Dear experts

Allow me to introduce myself by asking some newbie questions that will probably be best answered by "It depends". I'm a hobbyist, into metal working especially for old cars. I've done very little work on a Schäublin 102 lathe (which I will inherit some day!) and am now looking at an Aciera F3 mill but am (of course) not sure about the investment, since this is only a hobby and the machine won't be used too much...

  • It seems to be a first gen mill from the 50s I would guess.
  • This is what it looks:

  • The overall condition seems to be quite good, makes no funny noises, no rust...


BUT:
  • It comes with pretty much no accessories, only a horizontal milling head in addition to the vertical one
  • The power-feed is broken
  • So is the coolant pump


So, as the subject says: What is is worth? How difficult will it be to get spare parts (power-feed, coolant pump)?

Thanks!
