I bought this set new and used them both indoor and outdoor for several years. For the past 7 years they have been stored in their original box thinking I might someday use them again. I brought them out to review, test and photograph them. I hooked them up to power and they both ran just fine. I did not test the smoke units, but I seldom used them and when I last did they worked. I noticed that aside from nose paint flaws, the units and paint were in pretty good shape. Here are some of the issues I observed. 2 sliders are not installed on the B unit (I have the sliders but they won’t stay in place). One of the screens on the b unit is loose. One of the B unit windows is loose inside the engine. The rubber boots that fit on the ends of the b units are damaged and not installed. One of the steps on the A unit is missing. They seldom saw use after the first few years and should have plenty of life left. I have them configured with hook and loop couplers.
