I bought a used K2 and it was damaged during shipment. The UPS place
that packed it wrapped it in plastic and set it on the bottom of a box
with no padding around the bottom or sides so that the VFO knob was
against the side of the box along a bottom edge. The only padding was on
top. The VFO shaft was bent up, VFO knob was dented, AF and RF Gain pots
were damaged and need to be replaced. I'm waiting for Elecraft to let me
know how much the two pots and the VFO Encoder will cost.
This is insured, but UPS wants to see the radio to assess the damage,
like they would have any idea. I can give them the cost of the parts but
how much should I ask for in cost to repair the radio? I can do the
repairs myself but realistically how much is my time worth according to
UPS? They'll probably want a repair estimate from a shop, which as we
know isn't how this is done.
Sending the radio back to the seller isn't an option.
Any comments/feedback is appreciated.
