Not many may have this exact model. Looks vintage.. So assume parts may not be upto mark.. However if as you say it's from your known contact.. Then try and validate product ownership history... If possible take a look inside the hood...there shouldn't be any cockroach colony inside... Parts should relatively ok in condition etc...
If it is in good condition then teac is a good brand. Rate seems to be in higher end considering the risk of longevity...But again if ur brave enough.. Take that leap..
