CONDITION :
Outer box / metal tin is in excellent condition - no dints, no scratches - just the typical discolouration that occurs with age on this type of tin. Inner inserts are excellent; again, no wear - crisp & clean. THE BEST BIT : All 3 vinyl records have no noticeable marks & play with no interference - played only once or twice in 30-odd years.
In short - TOP CONDITION throughout.
