It would not be my first choice for a 7' haybine, but if bargain priced I would not be afraid of it either.
Hesston 1110 (7') or Hesston 1120 (9') would be my first choices in a sickle based haybine. New Holland modles would be my 2nd choice. The deere only if cheap and in good shape.

I have a 1219 (just a little newer with a 9 foot cut). It has been a good machine. I have about 60 acres of hay. If the 1207 is like the 1219, it will
have a wobble box drive for the knife. Look it over for any leaks and look where it mounts to the machine for any welding. Again, if like the 1219, the
rollers are driven by a gearbox and u-joint set up. A lot of parts that could potentially be worn out and expensive.
With any mower conditioner that has rubber rollers, look them over closely for cracks and separation.
I agree about Hesston being a good choice. For a small amount of hay, an old IH 990 was not a bad machine and can be found pretty cheap.

I got one for $1200, rolls not very good and rough but it worked. Each year I put a few new or better parts on it and it's been OK. Found one for parts last year with good rolls. Paid twice what I wanted to but I'm set for life with parts. You'll have to learn how to set the guards.

1207 isn't a bad cutter. As previously stated look closely at wobble box mounting bracket. If bracket has been welded back to platform don't buy as mounting bracket will give problems.

I had a 1209 years ago. It was an okay machine and got the job done. It did leave alot to be desired. My biggest complaint was that there is no easy way to remove a plug in the crimpers.
