About to Buy a Technics SP-10!? Am I making a mistake?

I'm about to buy an old technics sp10 mk2. I can't test it. Have no idea if it all works. It'll be about $600. Am I making a huge mistake?

I've seen others that are in much better shape visually for not much more money. Bide your time and buy one that in the end you can be proud of.
