If you purchase used, make sure you know the questions to ask the seller to try to decipher if the unit was operated properly. As a possible "newbie" owner (and we have all been there at one time or another), the table might have experienced more abuse/misuse than a new one. Personally, if it were me and I was starting at entry level ($1000 new range), I would NEVER purchase used. YMMV.
My precious dad was a German POW in WWII, liberated by General Patton at Stalag Luft III or VIIa (can't remember off the top of my head) on April 29, 1945. I love music from that era. If any song quiets me from that era it is "Sentimental Journey" by The Les Brown Orchestra with Doris Day. My Dad tells about being a newly liberated American, having his 21st birthday as he traveled home from Europe on a troop ship called "The Round Robin" by sea, and hearing that song for the first time. Every time I hear it I am reduced to tears. To see that blonde haired, blue eyed wonderful man go through that in my mind is almost too much for this daughter to handle.
