“Powers up, no other testing done” is a very common seller’s tactic of saying “doesn’t/probably doesn’t work properly but don’t want to disclose how. Please buy and figure it out in your own.”
Perhaps, but in this case who has the knowledge to test something like this?
Generally the person who bought it before reselling it. I’m not saying it’s impossible that it’s innocently true, just that anyone who does have knowledge of something like this should be insistent on testing it fully before purchase, because it’s entirely possible or even likely that it’s known that it doesn’t work
It's assumed that things such as this are buyer beware, and many of the vendors have things they have no idea what they are - one of the people I went with was training one vendor on a low-frequency HP SpecAn the guy had, no idea how to use it or anything about it other than SpecAn.
While it's possible the thing is broke, you're not really buying something like this to use. It's a piece of computing history.
