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.

EPA-100 tonearm alone cost $1200 minimum. If SP-10mkII is working then the price is a steal !

Came with: SP-10MKII EPA-100 tonearm Denon DL-301 SH-10E Power supply SB-10B4 Plinth Everything works! But I'll need to mount the tonearm. It'll be my project tomorrow.
