Can't really answer that question as I have never seen one in the flesh, from all the Ebay pictures i have seen the build looks OK provided they have fastened everything up square and free.
What they don't show you is the control box internals but I reckon that if you cost out for a complete new box, transformer, cap, bridge rectifier, 3 drives and possibly a new breakout board you will have a bomb proof system.

I'm a big believer in having spare capacity and have found out that on the smaller motors that need 3 or 4 amps if you get the bigger 80 volt 7.8 amp drives and run them de-rated, they never get hot, never break down and fly.

Ok more expense but how much does a ruined job or having to mess with a machine when you are supposed to be earning really cost ?

If you know this figure needs to be costed in whether or not you go for it on day 1 is another point.
