When I purchased this, seller stated it had a circular fracture around the wire groove. After close observation however, it could possibly have been glued. if so, its been expertly done. And any indication of fracture goes away when backlit. Other than this frac, there's no chips, dings or other damage of any kind. This is shortmold....you see one of these for every ten CD 256 Manhattans. I upgraded, so selling for 5 bucks less than what i paid for it years ago. 90 shipped
