I believe this crane is all original and it is solid. It shows light wear and some scratches. The car has all its journals, handrails, and gearing. Please use the photos as part of the description. All the knobs work for turning the base, lifting the boom, and operating the hook. The boom is a little bit slanted, but it could be adjusted. The crane comes with the original weighted hook, and it is attached to a wire line.

Use the pictures to determine condition for yourself. All of the gears and knobs work, the boom raises and lowers the cab spins around 365° and the hook string raises and lowers however, it could use new string. The string is very brittle probably original it breaks every time I try to tie the hook to it.

Once I give it to your carrier of choice I have no control over how/where they send it on it’s way to you. I just had a package go over 3/4 of the main land U. Before it finally got here, and took 10 days using Ground advantage. I offer ground advantage but warn you may have a wait. Out of last 6 packages sent ground advantage 1 got here as schedule. It’s not your local carriers or P. It’s where they do the sorting.
