Turned out to be new-in-sealed-box, which I didn't expect.

So, everything pristine, but still had the original 1985 CR2032 lithium batteries fitted (not working). I was a little nervous on opening it up, but it's OK: one battery had leaked just a tiny bit. I scraped off the terminals, and fitted new batteries, and it's working well.

That's a rare find for sure!
For that asking price I can only find well beaten ones. Fortunately these series are robust and easy to open. A proper cleaning and they become ready for a second life.
