This set is in unbelievable condition. I believe it is a 1954 edition. The metal base has no rust, dings, or significant marks other than a small amount of normal wear. Both catches work. Inside the lid is the original liner which holds the manual which has mild dog ears from use. It appears that all the pieces are included. The two canisters are full of nuts, machine screws and special fasteners. None of the metal pieces have any rust. The original screw driver and wrench are included. There is one small tear in the speaker diaphragm which is easily repaired with super glue. The motor works. The outside bottom even has no rust. This one is a must see if you are seriously looking for one. Thanx for looking. Please reply if interested.
