Congrats Brian!
Take in consideration of the age of the unit and be thankful it actually works. There are many here who have got a hold of these and had to perform extensive repairs, not including the hunt to locate parts, before enjoying the unit.
The bearings sound a little noisy during the spin, but they're a standard size(s) so not too much to worry about there. I'd recommend getting a hold of an inner and outer bellows for the future (or for when you want to replace the bearings). You'll want to change the oil in the mechanism soon down the road. Try Larry at Modern Parts for a new timer, but hang on to the old timer for parts.
I haven't had any first hand experience with a unimatic, so others here will chime in with more/better advice.
Again, congrats!
