How can i tell how many hours a Panasonic EP3222 Shiatsu Massage Chair has been used?

[Hal Mark]

They have this thing at the thrift store near me for 1k.
But i read the warranty expires at 1000 hours. Although, I guess that doesn't really pertain to me since ill be getting it second hand. However, if there is some meter in there telling me how many hours it's been used, that would help with my decision.
Ive looked online with no answer.
Hoping Yahoo Answers will pull through.

They thrift store has a half off in 2 weeks.
I figure ill wait it out.. and pray it still there unless i find out the thing has like 50 hours or something in which case i might buy it for the 1k.

While it is possible that the thing could have an hour meter
(or a cheaper thing that is called a coulometer) in it that
would indicate how long it has been used, it's not likely.

If it has a microprocessor control system, it could have
an accumulated-time function that would reveal use.

Most likely, there is no warranty you could benefit from anyway.

As to waiting to get it for a lower price:
I've done that... and sometimes I've wished I hadn't.
