old Braun coffeemaker - no light (Downers Grove, south side)

No idea of age. Been sitting in an unused kitchen for at least 6-7 years. Ran a few pots through, including descaler, and it seems to work ok — but the light doesn’t work at all. Someone more knowledgeable than me can probably determine if it’s still usable.
