Condition

The item is supplied boxed in all its original packaging along with wire and instructions. The only thing missing are the 6 AA batteries (provided from new). The unit itself is fully operational and doesn’t have any noticeable scratches or defects.

Unfortunately the instruction sheet is tarnished in one area with splashes of cola. The instruction sheet wasn’t near the unit when this happened. So sadly the instruction sheet is not in pristine condition. However, it appears that all of the instructions in English are not affected and are easily readable. Please refer to the photographs for further details.

Terms

Please study the photos carefully as returns are not accepted. The unit will be securely packaged and sent eBay tracked via Royal Mail. The price reflects the missing batteries and cola marks on the instruction sheet.
