UGH...two of the three coils missing their shield cans...the four-bulb dial lamp assembly missing...shadowmeter gone...no escutcheon...almost all tube shields missing and the on that is there is incorrect...yes, this is a parts set or a very challenging restore that will require parts from another set to make it complete.

Frankly, given the overall condition of this set, $75 might be too generous.

I would hold out for a better one that is complete.
