Often equipment that works fine will crater in storage. The guy might have been honest. When he last played the equipment it worked fine- 20 years ago.

A similar thing happened to me. I had a Denon HT reciever that worked great. I upgraded and put it in my closet to keep as a spare amp. About a year later, a friend of mine was building an HT system and I offered to sell him the Denon. He came over to pick it up and was ready to take it but I insisted he listen to it. It never occurred to me that anything would be wrong - I just wanted him to hear it.

However, when we set it up the panel display was dead. Needless to say we canceled the sale. Obviously, I would have returned his money if he set it up at his house and it didn't work. But the last thing I wanted to do was sell my buddy a piece of junk and I almost did.
