Lamp has been electrified with a lightbulb socket in place of the burner pot. No lightbulb present. One of the wires is just visible under the bottom edge of the door. The four lenses, two blue Fresnel, one red Fresnel, and one red standard, are all in good condition with no chips, cracks or breaks. Please see photos for best description.
