One owner doesn't guarantee excellent condition! |

Oh I don't doubt at all that it had one owner. But that one owner chucked it to the basement when something better came out and that's where it sat and has sat since John F. Kennedy was president. To quote Jeremy Clarkson: "it was owned by a little old lady, and she ragged it"
I really don't care about condition to me, as I do not have the money to afford museum pieces, but I can however buy a junker and make it a museum piece a little bit at a time. :) | ||

The gamble can be half the fun, though. I have many times bought things on eBay that were marked "for parts or repair" and found the needed repair was minimal or even nonexistent. And I agree with Huskyvacs, being able to see something 'in the rough' for what it can be instead of just what it is at that moment and then bringing out that potential is where most of the fun is. Your perspective with that 1205 is great because you're seeing a 'win' either way.
