How spooked should I be about Ebay machines?

The specific item I got is still visible: https://www.ebay.com/itm/153031740998. I also got a S&A CW5200 chiller.

It was delivered on a pallet. You will not move it on your own unless it’s just brute-forcing it off the pallet and rolling along a solid floor. There was no “assembly”, just connecting the exhaust house, air compressor, etc.

Repair is actually probably a bit of hyperbole. There was some questionable wiring and poor quality connections that I replaced because I’m really not a fan of being zapped or having electrical fires.

Some additional notes/modifications at:

The only minor quibble I’ve got on it is that the layout of the X-axis mount on the gantry is different from “everything else”, and I haven’t sourced an upgraded 3rd mirror/nozzle, yet.
