I had asked the trader to double box the radio,which he had done.
I also asked him to post it registered with signature,which he did. I paid by PayPal promptly and he hadn't and still hasn't invoiced me for the additional costs.
When the set arrived, it was in a disassembled state with the chassis floating around inside the cabinet.The speaker had been torn from the baffle board,one control shaft was broken off,two knobs were broken, the dial glass was broken.
If the set was screwed together, as the pictures on the eBay listing portrayed, then the set would have survived the trip.
The seller stated that the set was for repairs or for parts. The most valuable part, the dial glass, which was the main reason I purchased the set was broken in transit.
I have asked the trader for a partial reinbursement for the galss,to which his response was, It's not my problem what happens in post. I have emailed him to promise the extra post costs. There is now no response.
