Photographs are part of the description. It is very well preserved although the passage of time is noticeable. A 3200 ºk bulb is turned on and preserved. It is a very valuable piece, and at the same time very fragile. I recommend that you pick it up. It can be picked up by the buyer himself or sent to his transport. I will deliver it packed and protected, but the transport is the responsibility of the buyer.
