The seller doesn't seem to have any knowledge about Alembics based on the description. I suspect the 1/4" is wired for stereo which is why it wasn't working. Even at a lower price I would deduct whatever the cost of a DS-5 is these days.

I'd be worried about what may be hidden under that black coating.
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!
