There are no broken railings on the ramp (often broken) and the building windows are complete and intact. The building supports are rust free and looks really nice. The original terminal screw knobs are present and the all important base screw is there with an intact screw hole mounting area on the base, this is the one of the most common area's that get's broken. There is some wear and paint loss on the side supports of the crane structure (see pics) but is not offensive. The base of the unit is very nice on top as well as underneath.
