Guys, I need a little help...Going to pick up an Apex primary tomorrow and honestly don't know exactly what I'm looking at/for?!?! What should I be looking for to ensure the clutch is solid (not all warn out) it is a set screw style primary.
Note: the guy is super cool and would never try to stick it to me, but he's kinda in the same place that I am.

Obviously, you'll want to inspect for cracks like this as well as check the sheave faces to ensure there are no worn grooves and cracks; especially around the center of the sheaves:
As for the replacement, unless it was recently used and not stored, it will have some oxidation. Here's the one I picked up from Travis. Will get it cleaned up but it is solid and the sheave faces are smooth and flat. The unknow is the inner bushings that can only be inspected via disassembling the two primary sheaves:
