Speaking of which,

I just got a TS-723 by UPS from California, I can't
really call it shipping damage though it is, kind of.

It was packed well enough I thought.

Every screw in it was shaken loose!  The four-section
air variable cap inside was hanging by one of the four
mounting screws, two of the others were rolling aound
in the cabinet, the fourth was in the shipping box. 
This was attached by 1/2" long screws!!  They had
backed out in shipping.

All of the tubes have clamps to hold them in, but the
bolts that hold everything else were all LOOSE!

This is the second piece of equipment to arrive with
knobs floating around in the box, instead of being
attached to the shaft by the TWO setscrews!  This one
had three loose knobs.  Four screws missing from the
front panel, found one, so far.

Oh, yes, it did show signs of having been dropped on
one bottom corner.

This why you should check all the grounding points in
your radios.

Amazing,

Joe
