Go for it, absolute bargain.. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Where do these knobs get their prices from for feck sake. All the Mag Elites I have got from ebay have been bargains in my eyes. Well worth what I paid for them.

They only need one idiot and eBay reaches a lot of people.

That one is now mine (thanks tdxs133pm) ! Dunno if I've mentioned along the way, but I cancelled my original purchase (a later Hi-Speed 6500 model) as seller was bit slow to dispatch with no communication (which always makes me twitch). This one IS with the courier already. Seller accepted £100 offer. Including the additional power handle, I reckon a good deal for an un-used item ! Looking forward to its arrival obviously.
(If I end up not finding need for the extra "power handle" - or simply not like it - I can always sell-on handle for a few quid !)

Q: should I clean out the bearings and re-oil or just add a bit of new oil ?

Best to clean the bearings and a drop of new rocket oil should suffice.

Three Chrome Rockets are now mine, and all three in excellent condition. 🎣 🎣

Had some donkeys years ago, wish I had never got rid of them, beasts, but if you can handle them they fly.. ;)
