Meaning of red sticker on equipment


 

Hi,

I received a test fixture for a 4145A today (from Ebay, listed used) and
noticed a little red sticker on the unit that wasn't in the
listing. I've attached a picture. What does this mean?

I've seen a red sticker before on a unit I bought broken, so I sort of
assumed this meant the device was non-functional. Is this correct?

The test fixture has a few broken fingers (image also attached). I'm
less worried about this since I have a direct replacement for it, but
still annoyed.

More concerning is that the center conductor for one of the triaxial
connectors looks very blackened (third image, though unfortunately hard
to make out in the image). Is this likely to impair functionality, and
should I be concerned?

Finally, the center conductors for the BNC connectors look sick
(blackened in the same way as one of the triaxials). This should be
easier to replace.

I did not pay a "for parts or not working" price for this and the
pictures made the unit look ok with the description stating "in very
good condition" (in retrospect I should have asked for better images).

Thoughts? I'm well within my 30 day window so I can return it or ask for
a partial refund.

Thanks
Matt
