hi Cliff
Dunno your experience but some idea of state can be assessed. The input splines should be unworn. General wear of selectors may be an indicator of genral state. The synchro cones should bnot be loose and ideally retain some of the fine sipes .You may be able to espy the 1st gear on cluster and if seriously pitted (not that it prevents use). The fabric uj box might have no synchro on 2nd, although some prefer these as more reliable. Cluster and mainshaft gear end float can be determined. Beware selecting gears with the interlock removed as synchro springs might explode.
