I picked this up at an estate sale in Upstate NY last fall. The ham was in 
a nursing home, and his family was selling the home and contents.

The home was Non-Smoking. The Amp shows 0% smoke, inside or out.

I took the unit apart to replace the front panel, which had superficial 
damage.
(New panel is a repro from a seller on Ebay).

It was so clean, I was amazed. The inside had only some house dust that 
settled through the cabinet. The fan was clean and is white, showing no 
heat discoloring. The metal shield is also not discolored from heat. The 
tubes appear as new. (Eimac). I dusted it out using a paint brush and a 
small vacuum only, no cleaning fluids or liquids were used.

I powered up the high voltage without the 3-500 tubes in it, using a 
Variac. It has high voltage, both CW and SSB switch settings, checked with 
a Simpson 260 VOM and the front panel meter.

The only down side I see is the cabinet has some paint scratched off and a 
couple of dark rub markings on the rear.

Insides = like new,
Cabinet = worn from moving around the shack,
Fan = White, showing no discoloring due to heat. I re-oiled the bearings, 
it runs smooth and quiet.
Front Panel = New
Tubes = look New - Eimac 3-500 (2)
Feet = Front 2, look close to New - Back 2, squished a little under the 
transformer.
Wired for 117VAC, can be changed to 220. (jumpers)

Since I don't have a Dummy load available, It has not been RF load-tested. 
I don't expect you will have any problems with it, but it is sold as-is.
