The item has been stored in a warehouse for over 20 years, so the outer box is damaged. Although unassembled, some parts have come out of their bags. As far as I can see, there shouldn't be any problems with use. Comparing it to the parts list, a large sticker is missing, but the other parts are present. I haven't opened it, so I'm not sure, but it appears that the paint on the DC parts (metal fittings) is peeling. Otherwise, I don't see any problems, but it's an old item, and there may be oversights. Please understand that this is sold as-is. If I don't have a suitable box, I will wrap the outer box in bubble wrap for shipping. Thank you.
