What a huge disappointment... :(

yeah he should have coughed up more cash.
i am not sure how much it actually costs to ship stuff from china so the guy is making money i bet no matter what. at least you got a decent chunk of cash back from him. good on you.

it would be nice to see pics of the damage then we could see what can be done for it ,i don't think any box was more smashed up than the gf777 i bought on ebay i mean it was completely destroyed but now it lives again and better than it was before ,not stock though .

Maybe this will give you some inspiration.
Conion c-100 from china destroyed in transit.

After hours of restoration and luck in getting a used back and power supply to replace the destroyed parts

This was my finshed product so where there is a will there is a way.

Damn Frank! I had almost forgotten about that one! And Floyds 777 was a dumpster candidate if there ever was one.

Domino...You can't help but be motivated now...

hey frank -
thanks for that great memory

 

[mmcodomino]

Thanks a lot Frank!

I really am motivated now

And I see that I am not that unlucky with mine since there is no broken power supply or something like that.
The small partsd that broke off the back cover can be glued I think.

Anyway, the repair shop will do it and I am going to have a working unit again .

Otherwise I'll just ship it to you, Frank . I just need to wrap some newspapers around it, you will still be able to fix it! Awesome job on the Conion by the way!

Hey mmcodomino,

I think it's really cool you took this path. I'm glad you got some money back from the transaction.

Now, instead of another box heading toward the land fill, it will be a shining piece of your collection!

Way to go man!

The story goes on...

I am done with any Chinese sellers and what happens now is all up to me.

The box is still at the repair shop, they could not take a look at it over Easter. They said they will come back to me until next wednesday.

Then I will get to know the truth...GRAIL or FAIL

Thanks for all your support. Photo WILL follow!!!
