The FR5 inspection sticker is easier to find than its report

The refurbished FR5 listing has a close-up of an inspection sticker, but no description of the inspection. We would use it for molded-housing transfer. The price is tempting; collection is not cheap. What would you ask the seller to establish before paying for a condition visit or collection?

Ask for the report tied to that machine, its repair history where available and the included-hardware list. A sticker is not enough to price the unknowns.

The report arrived. It lists an electrical check and general motion, with a note that the demonstration used a workshop pendant. The sale list does not identify the pendant supplied.

Did they resolve that package question? I'd want an assessor to see the actual offered equipment, not assume the demonstration's borrowed parts come with it.

No answer yet. I have sent the report and incomplete list to a local assessor for a scope discussion. No collection booked.

Keep the housing application separate in that discussion too. General motion can be useful condition evidence without establishing that your complete tooling and tray arrangement will work.
