Buying a used turntable can be a very mixed bag. Sometimes it's all innocent and the seller simply has no clue what he/she is dealing with or how to package and ship a turntable, which is a very delicate mechanism. Fail to remove the platter and lock the table down and the platter can bang around damaging the motor shaft, etc.
I once got one shipped to me with an SME 3009 Mk II tonearm and the headshell and counterweight ends were bent at right angles to the arm. Fortunately I got an insurance payment from e-Bay, which was enough to cover a replacement headshell and a new coupling from SME for the arm-to-counterweight segment. It worked out okay. Best to stick with a table you can see prior to purchase, but it's not always possible.
That's a nice table and arm you have--they are solidly built and sound great!
