It was when I started to use the mount and found the tripod badly abused ie wouldnt extend properly due to it being gunked up with this white material, then when I changed the head to an ADM model and found this white crap inside I really became worried.Thats why the hypertune.
If the previous owner treats their other equipment this way then Id be worried about what else they pass on in IIS.

Caveat emptor
