Cebora autostar 180 tests?

I've won a Cebora autostar 180 on ebay for £131 (top price i hope!). it looks fairly tatty in the pictures but is supposed to be in working order.

Other than running a few beads to test it, is there anything i should be looking out for before i hand over money? Want to make sure it doesn't die on me in the first few weeks of ownership!

Are they that good! or maybe that bad for no response!

Got one about ten years ago second hand. It had been well used in a garage on cars and making gates. Had no trouble in that time until last week. Fan would not start in cold weather had to spray it with WD40. Only got a short warranty on it -******!

The add said it was "Working order", clearly this was not the case. The seller was rude, aggressive and very unhelpful. He didn't even have a gas bottle for me to test it before i took it and said very aggressively that i could "go get a bottle and new wire to test it, or walk away!"

Never met anyone soooo aggressive that was trying to sell something.

so did you buy it or walk??
The latter i do hope

yeah, i walked, no way i'm giving my money to someone so bloody rude. need to start looking again now!
