The bracket looked like it could be lined up along crack and glued. Missing the handle plate that goes over the DLB-1 receptacle. Cosmetic wear: Volume numbers on the faceplate show some wear. A few scratches and overall cosmetic wear on the unit and case. The wooden case has some chipped spots (see photos) and wear. Plastic slide-in grommets for the case: Two are missing.
