A refurbished FR5 has appeared at a price I can actually discuss without everyone going quiet. We'd use it for unloading polymer pucks, if the rest of the application works out. But the seller's 'inspected' description currently means a short movement clip and a photograph with the covers on. I asked what was repaired and got the price again. A very persistent price. What would you ask for before spending money on collection or an independent visit? I'm happy to pay for a useful assessment, less happy to pay someone to discover the listing is just optimistic.
The inspected FR5 has no inspection sheet

Ask for the identified arm, controller and pendant, the inspection scope and findings, and the repair record before booking collection, so an assessor can decide what still needs checking.

They have identified the three main items. The only inspection sheet is a checklist saying powered up and moved. No repair record attached. I've asked whether 'refurbished' means anything beyond cleaning.
11分Fair question. What work are they actually claiming?
6分Send that limited sheet to your prospective assessor before booking, Lin, because it may change the time and cost they allow.
11分Jane, replacement external covers and a cleaned cabinet. They have now said no internal repair work was done by them. The assessor has priced a visit on that basis, and we have booked it.
15分I saw a tidy used package with a pendant lead that had been repaired before the dealer bought it. The dealer had not made the repair and had not mentioned it. Does the assessor have the complete offered package available, including the cables?

Yes, Will. We put the package list in the visit brief. The seller confirmed the listed cables and pendant would be there, not substitutes for the demonstration.
14分Who would support it after the sale?
0分That support question is worth answering before you weigh the findings, Lin, particularly if a low purchase price leaves you sourcing every repair separately.

The visit found a damaged cable jacket at the pendant strain relief. The assessor wants the cable replaced and the relevant checks repeated. Seller says buyer's responsibility; their support offer is parts sourcing only.
-2分That is a real cost to put beside the tempting number. Is an identified replacement actually available?

Will's availability point matters as much as the price if it leaves the whole package waiting, though you may still find the total worthwhile.

We passed. The replacement and repeat assessment were affordable, but neither source would commit to availability and we have no spare equipment to cover a long wait. Thanks, Theo. Paying for the visit was much cheaper than collecting first and asking later.
6分A useful inspection, then. Just not a purchase.
