The item shows an honest, attractive vintage patina with surface aging, dust, and light cosmetic wear appropriate for its historical age.

It is being sold in UNTESTED, AS-IS condition for parts, restoration, or display, as I do not have the equipment required to verify complete electrical operational functionality.
