**Condition Observed**
The unit appears intact with no obvious breaks or severe deformation. Fastener holes and flanges look serviceable. The drive shaft shows normal toolroom wear. There is light residue near seam lines, likely coolant or lubricant. No clear nameplate or stamped part number is visible in the image.
