The artwork is in fair condition. The blue and red painted metal rods display some paint loss. The black painted box that encompasses the moving rods shows signs of age and wear. Paint loss and scuffs can be seen throughout the surface of the box. White paint drips were noted on the bottom interior panel. Remnants of a sticker can be seen on the top of the box. The conveyor belt, motor and fluorescent light all work. (This condition report has been provided courtesy of Wilson Conservation.)
