DBX 157 Stereo Noise Reduction

Cosmetic condition is good, with some normal wear to the wood end covers.  The front panel was clear coated with a gloss lacquer.   You can't see it in the photos, but there are some imperfections in the original finish that the clear coat did not completely cover.

Operationally, the unit seems to work fine.   Some brief tests were done encoding a CD and everything functions as it should.
