Condition (7/10) Fine Overall. The plastic housing is in great shape and so is the applicator. The foot peddle is in great shape with some nicks and signs of wear. The main damage to this item is on the rubber cords that are cracking with age. No cords have completely separated but please review the images closely to see what I am referring to.

This item is untested and I cannot claim it works!
