Default Question on Milwaukee pH Controller

Hello,

I just received my first CO2 system from an eBay vendor and I had a quick question about the equipment itself. I got the Milwaukee MA957 Regulator and Milwaukee SMS122 pH Controller. The first thing I noticed was that with the regulator, the left pressure gauge was badly bent internally so I have no idea how that passed inspection... just my luck. That obviously has to go back, but here's my question. The product was described as brand new but the pH probe had unknown white crust all over it. It tasted like salt and I was wondering if this is how they package pH probes or if they gave me a used/refurbished CO2 system? I attached a picture of what the pH probe looked like straight out of the box. The company I bought it from has like a 99% positive feedback but since it was pretty expensive I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask you all.

Thank you.
