The whole rower and the mechanism is all in perfect working order. The slight streaks you can see on the cushion are simply from a damp cloth that I used to wipe the dust off with.
What can I say, this machine has been sitting in our spare room for the better part of 2 years with virtually no use so it's time to give up on the idea and sell it to someone who can make use of it... or at least make a better go at trying to use it that my wife and I did.
It's all well and good when you buy it thinking you're going to get all fit and exercise when it's freezing or wet outside.
Unfortunately, I'm hopeless with motivating myself to exercise at home when my main form of exercise it commuting to and from work on a bike.
Anyway, I tested the monitor with some fresh batteries and it seems to work absolutely fine although I couldn't get the distance calculator to click over... mind you, I only rowed it for about 20 seconds and ALL the other counters (strokes, calories, time) were all working perfectly.
don't hesitate to call if you have any questions
