I would want to see it in action. If in good shape it should serve well, if not it could be an expensive pain in the neck. Things to look at would be contact roller, pressure rollers, pressure bar, conveyor, air line and platen condition, do the oscillation and tracking work reliably, do the electronics and wiring look clean? Any repair history? Parts availability Age and use? Wide belts and edgebanders can be tetchy and costly to repair.

Great older time savers I have a similar one and it served me very very well as the others have said you got a check the service of the rollers and also the condition of the feed belt but the feedback can be replaced for a few hundred dollars there much heavier duty than many of the modern machines and timesavers has a File on each and every machine they make doesn’t matter how long ago it is the tracking can be a pain I had to switch mine out from pneumatic tracking to an electric guy that operated the pneumatic tracking cylinder
