That press looks like it will be usable. Look up inside the metal dies to check for rust that can scratch the cases and cause premature case splitting. You can take a bronze shotgun brush and clean them out inside if there is light corrosion. I would also suggest that you don't ever get the large shot/powder bottles that MEC offers. Others may disagree but I find them very clumsy to use. You can gladly have the couple that I have on the shelf if you ever need them. Do get the replacement wooden handle too; that is very good advice as those plastic handles lead to much more hand fatigue.
