Wow! And it even comes with a kitchen table and a set of miniblinds!

Seriously, the gauge will need to be calibratated and possibly replaced
(easy) and it wouldn't be a bad idea to get the popoff valve tested.

The lid gasket is the only potential problem, but it might use a gasket
available from another brand. My pressure canners are both over 20
years old and still have the original gaskets. Some people seem to go
thru gaskets every couple of years. Whatever you do, don't put
vegetable oil on the gaskets.
