The tapes are not even which might just be a matter to cleaning up that frame, but it might mean all manner of other problems lurk within.

It looks like it has had a wash down to keep it cosmetically good.  I also wouldn't trust anyone who is adamant about a price as it sounds like they have a 'take it or leave it' attitude.  I may be doing the guy a disservice, but I also don't like the sound of anyone just wanting out of music. Maybe I am wrong, but it all sounds a bit desperate. 

I also distrust anyone who thinks an M400 'needs no work', no matter that it looks worn inside.  (I also have misgivings about anyone who can construct a sentence like 'This is really as complete of a package you'll find.' without cringing even a little.)

I'd avoid, myself.

Looks pretty beat up inside to me. The tapes aren't even dropping down all the way. I can imagine what the keyboard feels like.
