Shipping Caution

I just purchased a used Mosvalve 1500. Although properly packaged it was damaged in transit. The problem arises because of design. The board is attached to the top of the case using #6 screws without washers. This leaves the weight of the fan and heatsinks on the screws. One corner of the board broke and one screw pulled through the board breaking a land to the output chips. Channel A was not working when the unit arrived. I repaired the land but Channel A still does not work. My guess is the output chips for Channel A. If you ship one of these, ship it upside down with the box marked clearly with an up arrow.

I bought one from Duane's Music several years ago. It was poorly packed and shipped UPS but it arrived without a problem.
