Condition Report
This unit is in great vintage cosmetic condition with minor age-related wear to the enamel as shown in the photographs. Mechanically, the rack-and-pinion coarse focus and fine adjustment knobs turn smoothly. The optics on the eyepiece and objectives are clear and clean. Please note that this unit does not include a bottom mirror or sub-stage lamp light source, making it an ideal piece for collectors, a parts donor, or a functional lab instrument once a light source is paired.
