[Elecraft] K2 - Cost estimate for repairs

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Elecraft might be able to help with a repair estimate. They don't care who
you bought it from.

Subject: [Elecraft] K2 - Cost estimate for repairs

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.
