It is old, looks to be in good condition. You probably would not be able to get some of the parts for it anymore, i.e., that motor and the linking in the arms,,, don't make 19" anymore. However if it runs good, it should last a long time. For $200, ya you could get $200 worth of work out of it. The blade clamps are the part of the machine that maybe is replaced most often, if the modern ones would fit it,, You could call Seyco and ask.
