It was totally disassembled, mechanically adjusted to remove any play in the keys, rods, hinges, and posts. Cleaned, removed old oil, dirt, grime and re-oiled. All brand new pads, felts, bumpers and cork. The neck has no pull down, but the microtuner was disabled in the past. The only con is that it may not be a collector's piece, but on the plus side, the neck will never leak! Overall, the sax is in great shape and sounds killer. It does have a few minor dents just past the bow and on the bell. The Trill Eb key is fully functional as intended and not corked closed. Comes in a case with faux snake skin which is physically in poor shape. Both latches lock but one needs to be manually closed and the other manually opened. The case will do great for shipping. Also included is a Conn precision mouthpiece, new reed, lyre, and vintage neckstrap. No ligature included (sorry i ran out) Serial# 201xxx Please view all photos and ask any questions before bidding.
