Condition
Overall very good condition consistent with age. A very small pinhole though the latex at bottom right, and minor wear to the lead feet. A small area of the rubber at top left is beginning to soften and has a small hole approximately 0.5mm in diameter. Sothebys does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
