What the seller says
For parts or repair. Motor powers on and runs, as shown in the listing video. The center variable speed control knob is missing. The remaining speed control can be turned and does change the speed, but it is difficult to operate without the knob and the control/shaft feels somewhat loose or has movement when turned. Because of this, the unit is being sold as-is for parts or repair. Base only. Blender container/pitcher shown in the testing video is NOT included. Shows cosmetic wear from previous...
