Thanks Bob, I can't tell from the pic,but lid may be chrome.He's asking $50.00.I'm thinking it's a good deal if even the base is good.

If you're looking for a 78 L82 base, I have one you can have through the pay if forward thread if you like. Don't have the lid though.

If you want me to post a pic of it let me know.

Hope this will help.

Jeff
