This item was manufactured in 1987. It is unused and in excellent condition, with no rust on the springs. I believe the condition is good, but this is my personal assessment. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned, as it has been stored in a regular household. There are fine scratches on the surface, so I am offering it at a reduced price. If you think it would be a good deal at a lower price, feel free to negotiate. However, please keep your offers within reasonable bounds.
