Stylus: Not heavily worn, and the tip is still sharp. Dirt has built up on it, though, and it has turned black.
Cantilever: It has a very slight bend. Seen from the front, it leans a little to the right. It isn't badly bent, cracked or pushed in.
Headshell and finger lift: There are several faint, thin scuffs on the surface.
Mounting area: There are rust-like spots on the front of the part that attaches to the tonearm.
Original box: It's in worse condition than the cartridge itself and the case inside. The material has aged and is starting to tear, and there are creases. The case inside the box has some dusty dirt, and its plastic cover has surface scuffs.
