The vintage TRFers are amazing! The detective work that has both fleshed this problem out and, ultimately, isolated it to Rolliworks, is awfully impressive.
I cannot imagine that Rolliworks was disclosing the re-lume if they were trying to sell it for $21K+!!!
This makes me give the seller way more benefit of doubt (though not hearing from him in nearly 24 hours isn't helping); buying from Rolliworks SHOULD make matters like re-luming a non-consideration. But it clearly didn't. Rolliworks knowingly sold a re-lume. That buyer, in the dark, then turned and sold it to me.
I'd love to hear from anyone at Rolliworks on this one. May give them a call...
