It may not need much work at all. If the seller gets a power cord
wired up, you may find it only needs minor adjustment.

"Initially it was restored to working order until 1993. Since 1994 it
has been in storage and not touched."

If it was stored in a dry, mouse free place since 1993 (he has two
cats!) It might be a good buy.

(Kind of difficult to determine anything without a power cord!)
