The bidders aren't exactly newbies either. You really have to know your item before bidding.

I find it curious that the seller says "Yes plays records fine," and yet the record the seller presumably tested it with was the Diamond Disc he is including with the machine...hmm...so either A. the person never tested it, or B. he did test it, but there's no way he found it to play "fine" as he claims, if a Diamond Disc was used. That seller is either seriously mistaken or a liar--I'm guessing the latter.
