InventiveAudio.com Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 When u buy something that all you take your chances. It could have gotten knocked around in shipping or it wasn't properly updated. Ebay has fraud protection. Perhps you can recoup some of your money there. Email Bill at archangele666@cox.net He's a tube head and repairs tube amps. He's very good. ------------------ My Klipsch Page www.nyonline.com/klipsch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripod Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 The shipper can also file a claim with UPS if they can prove it was in working order before shipping it. It involves a little paperwork on their end, but it may be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@silverfox@ Posted July 31, 2002 Author Share Posted July 31, 2002 Thank's to all for your suggestion , after e-maling the seller he requested that i return the amp and he would have his tech fix, what he belives to be cap,right now i'm unable to recall which one it was.He will also re-imburse the cost of shopping he should get it fri or sat. just hoping all will be well this time around.

Jobman Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 @Silverfox@: I just sold an AMC preamp that I have had for about 4 months. Shipped FedEx back east. Double boxed Really well! It arrived to the buyer in good shape. He almost immediately emailed me saying the unit was 9 years old and it was a different model than I sold him. I emailed back that it was indeed the correct model and only 4 moths ond. Well, he called the factory and they confirmed I was correct. Then, he plugs it in, hears a hum, so off he goes again with the Emails and this time he calls the factory. He wants me to get it fixed, and of course, I want to help and offer to do so, AFTER he has checked all his interconnects AND checked the tubes. Of course, it turns out that in transit, one of the tubes had become a little unseated, and amazingly, the hum went away and it now works as well as it ever did, or ever will. He is very happy! Morale: take the time to check everything you can under the hood first. Sending it back should be the LAST resort if at all possible.
