Looks like a reasonable price to me - not that I'd buy it, to be honest.

I wonder if they thought the same, isn't it page 4 displayed, mentions "H2 tanks off" so they had to be on to be turned off. Somewhere between the two it blew? Written on the right something about number 2 tank 'something' failed too...after 'something'...stirring.

It also has no cover, I'm assuming it was the one torn off to make the fix for the CO2 scrubber canister. Supper cool

It would be a nice touch. DCO, albeit about 50 years later than planned.

"H2 tank heaters off".

The note in the margin says "O2 No 2 tank press gage failed after cryo stirring", i.e. pressure gauge failure.

Because of that pressure gauge failure, mission control requested the crew stir the tanks more often, as that was part of a work-around for judging how much oxygen was in the tanks. If they had kept to the original stirring schedule, the explosion might have occurred at a point where the LM wouldn't have been available for use as a 'lifeboat'.
