Guide thread at the 10th position has a scratch like a vertical line. There is no looseness in the guides. Minor surface scratches are visible, but there are no scratches that would lead to breakage. The top guide and other guides have no scratches or thread cracks. I purchased this item new. Warranty card is blank. Please comment before purchasing. It will take about a week to ship. Direct transactions are possible in Chiba and Ibaraki, depending on the location.
