I purchased this item new at the time and have stored it in a dark place for a long time. I haven't been able to confirm that it works because there are no batteries. Please understand this and purchase with no claims and no returns. To prevent water damage, I plan to wrap it in bubble wrap before shipping. There are individual differences in how people assess the condition of an item, so I would appreciate it if you could check the photos and make your purchase decision based on them. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item or are overly concerned about details. Returns are not accepted to prevent product substitution.
