The cambridge v.180 welder

[vicbeb]

hi all, im not a welder and dont know that much about welding to be honest but have joined this site in a desperate attempt to find out something about this welder that was my dads. My mum wants to get rid of it because its in the way and very very heavy and out of curiosity id like to know if she sold it how much she could ask? Plus i cant find one like it anywhere? can anyone help? the top sign says :
* OIL COOLED ELECTRIC WELDER * THE CAMBRIDGE V.180 WELDER *
Its green and extremely heavy on a pully trolly with 4 wheels.

I have a dozen 55 gallon drums full of Shell Diala insulating oil if you need a top-up
Used oil, admittedly...
