I am the first owner, having purchased this new at a musical instrument store at the time. It still has the bridge cover, which is often lost. About 40 years ago, I had it repainted from black. All the parts, down to the screws, are original. The sound has been checked. The neck is straight, and the frets have never been replaced, but I think about 60% remain, so it should still be usable for a while. The string height is set very low, at about 1mm on both the 6th and 1st strings. The case is also the original from that time, but the key is missing. Also, the spring on the metal clasp is stretched, making it difficult to secure and easily opening, so I will tape it shut for shipping. Shipping is free, but I cannot ship to Okinawa or other remote islands.
