Please measure carefully and make sure it matches your unit, they are not all the same. Ask questions if needed.
We have included lots of photos from many different sides and angles.
Ask questions and be sure about your size requirements before bidding. Not all bottom bases are the same, this is a rarer, larger unit.
In very good vintage condition. It is sturdy, stands flat, has all the glue blocks, and is
ready to use.
It is old and antique so there are some signs of wear and age as can be expected.
Please look at all the photos as they are an essential part of the description. Ask questions before you bid. We are not experts and sell a variety of mostly vintage and antique items. Older, vintage and preowned items are never perfect. We do our best to describe everything we see.
If you are difficult ~ and you know that you are~ please do not bid. Vintage and used items are something you should not be buying.
We pack carefully and usually ship on the next day after payment is received.
Thank you for looking and for your bid!
