Default Finding problems on used embroidery machine?

Hi,

I purchased a Husqvarna Viking Designer 1 on ebay. Here is the link to the listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/272132504969...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I would like to know what I should look for, to find potential problems as the seller does offer a return policy. I was told to take it in when I asked customer service about it and the dealer wouldn't give me a price for just looking for problems. I'm not up for that at all as if there are problems, I will be returning it and want as little money out as possible.

Help from more knowledgeable people would be wonderful. This is my first embroidery machine. It has 611 hours on it, supposedly made in 2006. It is the floppy disk version and everything seems to work. The machine has no visible signs of hard use on it.

What tests can I run on it to find out if I need to return it or not? I really don't want to throw away 800 dollars, this is the most I've spent on anything. Also, how good is it for piecing?

Thank you
