[GreenKeys] Wild Goose Chase

Dear Friends,

Yesterday...I went to pick up the Model 15 in "working order".  When I got 
to the place, the condition of the machine was quite different than I had 
imagined.  It was a pile of pieces that appears to have been stored in a 
barn for quite some time.  I am very un-knowledgeable about these machines 
but need to ask you guys a key question?  Is there any reason I shouldn't 
consider this a pile of parts?  Since I'm new to this, I'm looking for 
something a little more "ready to go".  The big cabinet is in decent shape 
but everything else is quite dirty.  What are your opinions?

Here are the photos:
