This thing is still running, but much like my daily driver, its cosmetically beat, a ton of scratches and dings, even the collimator inside is chipped (but you cant see it in the image). No matter how rough, it still chugs along like a champ, proving how hardy these things are. For a cheap loaner, starter, or beater unit, a solid choice. Tube is an ITT gen 3, omni 2, so performance ain’t great, but it does see in the dark, and is overall pretty clean, especially given its age.
