Unbeatable Prices & Expectations
This is a high-quality vintage component. As with many rebuilt parts, the exterior housing may exhibit minor signs of past usage or light shelf wear consistent with storage in a shop environment. These cosmetic characteristics do not affect the internal electrical performance or longevity of the unit. These components represent the original manufacturing quality of a bygone era, often far exceeding the standards of modern aftermarket replacements.
