I say no, you might say something different, and that's ok.

I buy lots of vintage electronics on the internet, and it's a given that I will be inside most pieces of gear to get them where I want them. I think you have recourse for the light bulbs.
Seller: "100%" operational" "All functions test as NEW"

that above is understandable, no?

and this below is understandable, no?



"A few days later I get this email pdf from AudioDoctor:

"Problems in both output stages:
Left channel bias is near zero and cannot be regulated, will require
troubleshooting to component level.
Right channel had out of tolerance (150mV) DC offset, adjustment
is unstable and drifting. Distortion measures .18%, spec .15%. Will
require troubleshooting to component level.
Estimate to correct above $325.""
.
A few days after that, an email from AudioDoctor:

"Right now I’m concerned with getting the electronics working properly so it will be reliable. Found a couple of bad transistors in one channel, but there is still an issue. Will resume tomorrow."


"I received an item that does not match the seller's description."
Resolution Center - eBay


what the buyer received is NOT what the seller represnted.
that's understandable, no?
