All of our parts are marked with an A - F grading system. Below describes each letter grade compared to item quality.
A A product with an "A" rating is in perfect or near perfect condition. It will be ready to use and have little to no defects, no rust or rot, and no or very minor pitting. The product could either be new old stock (NOS), in excellent original condition, or be restored to a like new condition.
B A product with a "B" rating will be a nice quality item that will be in good mechanical working order but may have a few minor defects. Some defects may be seen as light to moderate pitting, scratches, worn paint, and/or shelf wear.
C A product with a "C" rating will be in working condition but may show signs of neglect such as light surface rust, minor rot, heavy pitting, worn components, heavy scratches, and/or missing paint. A "C" item will most likely need minor work.
D A product with a "D" rating will be in need of refurbishing. The item may be rusty, rotted, have worn components, and/or minor physical damage that is repairable. An item with a "D" rating will most likely not be usable without some work done to it.
F A product with a "F" rating will be sold for parts only. It could be missing key components, be damaged, very rusty/rotted, and/or heavily worn. Any item with a "F" rating should not be used without being repaired first.
