Provided your enlarger is in correct working order it will be fine. The Meograde head was, if memory serves me correctly, supplied as an alternative to the condenser head and the colour head that I use. The Meograde was intended for use with B & W multigrade papers.
If the enlarger has been unused for some time you may need to make sure the filter mechanisms work smoothly and the filters are clean. This is not difficult, just requires common sense.
Regarding the lens, again if it is in correct order and hasn't been dropped or otherwise had its operation impaired, you should find that it gives very fine results. Meopta enlargers are built like a tank and so are as near indestructable as any such equipment can be. It also works very well. The whole outfit should suit your purpose admirably - enjoy your printing!
