I wanted to add to this thread as well, and post my compliments and appreciation for a great transaction with John (springer). John is not only a knowledgeable and regular contributor to our Forum, but also a great guy and a great seller, with a bonus supply of enthusiasm for just about anything mechanical.
All went smoothly in our transaction, and, being that we're not that far from each other, we met for a local exchange. The 1675 I purchased appeared every bit as described, and in fact, even better in person than photographed. Thanks John!
I also posted a separate thread for John here:

...but wanted to add my feedback to this thread, in order to get my comments to what looks like a centralized location. Thanks again, John.
