Help with Sansui QD 5500 buy.

[antpaubarcar]

Hi,
Need help regarding a QD 5500,attached photos of heads and other.
The heads seem to be full of debris, confirmed by the seller ,but I have some doubts about their condition!
As It is abroad I cannot see or test it so what do you think?
Tks in advance!

Filthy, but not worn out-as best as I can tell from photos

Hi ALL,
I just bought a Sansui QD 5500 and I attach photos of it before and after cleaning.
The belts seem ok, cleaned and oiled the 3 motors, cleaned and demagnetized the heads, I
haven' t yet played it because I am missing the RCA cables, should have them latest next monday|
What do you think of it,

And what about the heads (photo 12 = before cleaning and photos 13, 14 and 15 after cleaning)
Comments apreciated.

Strange, still no comments!
Meanwhile I was looking for spare belts and a pinch roller and found both, I am not afiliated with any of them so belts from Vintage Electronics and pinch roller from Terry Rollers, both very kind and cooperative, a pleasure to deal with!
