Not such a gamble if you magnaflux and sonic check it before laying out any cash. The seller let myself and my builder crawl inside and out of this one before purchase. This checkout was done after we had rejected two of his earlier offerings.
The seller was a good guy that wanted to maintain his reputation and was happy to let us perform due diligence before completing the transaction. At this time the Pond and Genesis blocks had not been around very long and were quite costly and not yet time tested
