I bought a heater for my new-to-me Star Lubesizer from Magma. I know, would have been easy to build one or use a lightbulb, but I did what I did, and I paid full MSRP for it plus shipping.
A few days later it arrives, open it up and it appears to be used rather than new. Scratched up from mounting and dismounting a few times and some odd partially drilled divots on the bottom side. Thermostat control screw is slightly buggered. The whole thing was a little sticky from lube.
Plugged it in and it heats up. So, maybe issues are just cosmetic and likely a new one would look like this within a fairly short period, and who cares how it looks anyway.
But I feel cheated, I paid for new.
I pretty much decided to just mount it up tonight and get on with life, but then decided to ask all ya’ll your opinions. Let’s see if I can post some pics.
