THIS will make you sick!
I bought this Prosonic off Craigs List to restore/resale. It was shipped by FedEx Air well packed but took a BIG fall in shippment hitting square on the bottom of the box. the box showed only a little flattening on the bottom but when I opened it--well the photo tell the sad story!

It hit so hard that it shattered several pre amp tubes IN the shields and stripped two speaker screws out of the T nuts!!
BTW I have on hand a mint baffel and pair if the origional Celestian 10's. I had planned to re-tolex the amp re-tube and reinstall the factory 10's then re-sale this one but now--- :roll: !!
The bone headded seller did not declare a value and pay the upcharge when he shipped the amp so FedEx is only liable for $100 in damagel
The seller offered me $150-- don't think that will get it on this one!!

Did you sign the receipt when it was delivered to your door ?

If yes, have you made a complaint ?

If not try to find a wood-worker in your area to rebuild the cabinet....

Nope they just dropped it at the door.
Yep I hit the phone and filed the claim as soon as I opened the top of the box!
This cabinet is FUBAR it's broken in several places so there is nothing solid left to repair! I'm looking at doing all the Zinky mods on the chassis then dropping it into a custom dovetail jointed MoJo Blackface Deluxe 1/12 box in Purple with silver grill cloth 8) .
In the end if all goes as planned I will have a 1/12 Prosonic that looks something like THIS one :wink: 8)

I would still file a complaint and see if there's anything legally that you can do due to their carelessness.

I did just that and they promply paid the seller $100 which according to the shipping contract he signed is the limit of FedEx's liability if he did not pay the few $'s upcharge to state a value!
Fortunately I do this a lot (buy online that is not deal with damage claims) so I was prepaired and have up to $2500 in purchasers insurance through my Credit Card company. This is why I use my card for online purchases and then just pay off the ballance each month to prevent intrest charges.
I hope to use the insurance I have to get this amp back into shape. I will get the estimates to put it back together stock. When I get that settlement I will then pay a little extra and do the custom stuff.
It should pare up well with the Red Lizzard one off 120 watt Prosonic head I allready have that Zinky gave Brad Whitford over in Aerosmith. I had been talking to Zinky about his mods on the Prosonics allready so this is a good time to build a monster!
FYI since I am a new guy over here here is the rest of my Prosonic clan here at tha house ---
