Condition:
Vintage mid century pull-down flying saucer light for repair or restoration. Metal disc and pulley cover in very good condition with light wear; some paint speckles, residue, and a few drips on black discs. Pulley mechanism is sticking--hard to get cord to release; needs repair and new wiring. Glass disc shade and pull-down ring finial are missing. Overall, excellent project piece with a little time and money; will be a fabulous mid century ceiling light fixture when restored.
