[Milsurplus] Damaged RAS

[Charlie L.]

I too suffered damage during the shipping  problem also , but it was
aggravated by improper packing.  I had a Bendix RDF receiver shipped to me
which was fairly well packed, but lacked one extra protection it needed.
The shaft that the tuning cable would screw into was not protected.
Somewhere the RX was dropped or smashed against something hard, forcing
that side of the box inward, and pushing the tuning shaft into the radio,
bending the cabinet and the chassis, but amazingly not damaging the tuning
cap. The hollow splined tuning shaft opening had packing material and box
jammed into it when it punched through the box like a hole punch.  The real
problem is that the cabinet is a wrap around aluminum shell  integral to
the chassis, all screwed together with many machine screws, and to repair
it, it will be necessary to remove them all to separate the main chassis
and the surrounding cabinet, unsolder and remove the tuning cap,  in order
to hammer everything flat again.
