Weigh cell unit?
They are simple, accurate spreaders as long as you change the oil in the gearboxes.
This was the one I bought at York.

It will live again.
The stainless discs and guard , long vanes and flip over cover are worth what I paid for the whole thing.
A wet week project.
The one I use is 2016 or 17Easytronic and gets a bit over 200t through it each year.I did 11,000kg yesterday and was 200g/ha under, can't really get it any closer than that. It gets washed every night and oiled at the end of a job, then sprayed with hydraulic oil at the end of the year. I drop the oil out at the end of the season and change it again mid season.

This might do an artic load in a year. It sits on an old Ford from the end of Feb and goes out when conditions are right to put a couple of bags on the grazing. A lid will keep the damp out on the foggy days.

i had a ursus c385 the only thing wrong with the cab was the fan it only made a noise
Bonhill/ Fortschrit 514E combines. The fan worked, but the filters didn’t. You had to stretch a pair of ladies tights over the filter to keep the dust out. Machinery has thankfully come a long way.
