Aciera F3: What is ist worth? How hard is it to get spare parts?

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!
