Condition: The box has a split down one side, and there is some damage around the string outlet and around the removable base - this was stuck in place when we acquired the box and I think the damage had been caused by people trying to remove it without realising that it needed to be turned. We have adjusted the fit of the base so that it is now easy to take off and put back on..
