Condition: one of the suspension springs broke and so we had to take the foto with the arm resting on the support (close up reveals the original parts are there). The rear of the sphere has had restoration. The numerals are plastic from an aftermarket dial set, glued onto the sphere. Movement, hands, rods and lower sphere are all fine. Good value for the workman who can attend to these items. Ht 34" [86cm]
