Yep, a grand for a non working one is very steep but if you go to look at it, look at the quality of work done so far, look for the usual sign's of bad workmanship, blobby solder joints, hacked about/missing screws, etc. The fact that the owner has stripped the motor/s, and isn't presumeably a motor specialist rings a sack load of alarm bells. If the motor is kaput you can add a shed load of money for a rewind.

£100 for parts is about the most I'd pay. Andy.
