So apparently it just needs a service. No parts replacing. The place I went to quoted £160 (inc. a 1yr guarantee).
I do need to buy a strap so if that's "all" that it needs, I'm tempted to get the details of your guy if it saves some money.
I'm in two minds about messaging the seller. I guess it can't hurt.

Sounds like a plan. If you do message the seller, tell them that youve taken it to a professional and they've confirmed it doesn't meet the seller's description.
It'll be cracking if you can get it cleaned and running propey though. Watch servicing prices vary wildly, but I'd try to aim for no more than £100 - £120 labour charge.
I can PM anyone the details of the chap I use in Yorkshire (by post) if anyone fancies using them. He's very experienced and good value.
Also, if anyone ever needs access to a Timegrapher, either to assess a movement or to regulate, then mine's free to use in Leytonstone.
