Very good overall condition, retains the original finish, no inpainting to the glasses, weight baffle replaced and hold down hardware missing, brass cover is loose from the bob, runs a short time and stops.

The absence of a condition report does not imply there are no condition issues with the lot. Please inquire for a detailed condition report.
