What can go wrong with a #15 Buffalo DP

[dan s]

I have the chance to purchase a #15 Buffalo DP (looks like a 50's model). From the pictures it looks to be in really good shape.

I'm not able to go kick the tires, thus what kind of unseen problems could this brand/model have?

I know, it's a generic question but I thought I should ask anyway.

The worst could be busted castiron. some where on it . every thing else you can re make all soft iron . No heat treated parts that I know of.

Teeth broke out of the quill housing,but still repairable.Splined quill drive clapped out,but still repairable.

Either one of the two wrong and it's a $50 press cause it's gonna take some time to fix.
