Emergency Rowing Machine Question!

I've got a York R510 rowing machine selling on eBay which ends in two hours. Someone has asked me if its magnetic or hydraulic. I listed it as magnetic (as I googled the product number and that's what came up on a tesco listing for it) but now I'm really confused and don't know if I've got it wrong.

How can I tell the difference! Pleeeeaassseeee!

The title of your post amused me. I had a picture in my mind of a rowing machine with flashing blue lights on it!

Ha ha, and someone frantically trying to stop?

Thanks for trying to help chris but I'm still at a loss as to which mine is. Any clues?

Does it have pistons?
If not, it's not hydraulic.

It's actually r501, not510.

Can you tell from these pics? I really don't know what I'm looking for..

Sid, I made an error in my original post. That model is the R510. Mine is the R501 (confusing)

I really wouldn't mind normally wolf but I'm desperate to find the answer to this, I'd be grateful if anyone could just stick to the original Q, just until I have the answer.

I thought that I had found the answer - but I think that it just led me to your ebay listing. I hope it sells.
