Can anyone identify this forge, Pros & Cons?
I have the opportunity in a roundabout way to acquire this forge with some tongs and a bag of coke.

I'm just a beginner and I am keen to have a home forge to come back to and practise what I am learning on. I am told the blower doesn't rattle when it spins, no way to know if this is accurate or not.
Basically an acquaintance of mine contacted me to say he knew a bloke selling some gear. However he only wanted to deal with him, why or what not I don't know. So I can't inspect or pick up myself I only have some photos sent to judge by. The blower is a Buffalo Forge, and I can't make out the markings on the forge, but I am told it is cast iron and about 600 x1000mm in size.
Not shown in the photos are also a 4" post vice with broken leg, and a heavy bench with 3" post vice. No further info on condition, or material/size of bench. Can be bought separately.
So I am open to ideas on possible make of the forge, pros & cons of this design, & what you think it maybe worth?
