Condition report:
The plastic cabinet shows surface dust and grime accumulation within the recessed ribbing and around the top controls (photo 2). Minor surface scuffs and marks are visible to the plastic casing consistent with domestic handling (photo 1). The chrome plating on the handle and dial rim is largely intact with very minor instances of pitting (photo 3). The function and working status are untested.
