I had one of those for years when I lived in Florida. Simple and reliable. Great that you got moulding cutters with it. The manufacturer didn't waste money on making it attractive, that's for sure. Ken

If anything is out of kilter and you need help give me a holler. I had to do quite a bit of work on mine to get it running properly again - partially why I got it cheap. I changed all the copper bushings in the drive train, repaired a partially broken pulley unique to the FB, and replaced the belt that goes on it as well as new springs for the feed rollers. The feed rollers are pretty hard and worn but still work well enough. The biggest problem mine had was the cast iron bed was either worn or bent. It was close to 1/16" low in the center. I ended up filling it with Bondo and gluing a piece of Formica over that. Five years later it's still running well. It ain't gotta be pretty to work - but yours does look good.
If you don't have an owner's manual you can find it on the web and download it.
