About to buy my first letterpress! Advice needed

About to buy my first letterpress and could use some advice.

The seller says all it needs is a new set of rollers and that it’s mechanically sound. Judging by the looks of it I assume I’ll need some naval jelly and green scotchpad to get rid of some rust? I’m new to this, are any of you experts able to give me some pointers on what to look for? I’m going to check it out this Sunday. Thank you all!

Here is a link to the press, does it seem like a reasonable deal?
