Checking a used Continental Girbau E-Series EH040

High-spin machines put more load on bearings and suspension — check both on high-hour E-Series units.
Confirm the payment system in use and that it is compatible with your planned coin/card/app setup.
Verify remaining ContinentalCare coverage (10/4/3-year) and transferability.

Note the model, serial, and cycle count on the machine, then price a re-tool with the replacement-cost calculator.
