I got my first LD player packed that way (t'was soggy too)...Had some internal damage I had to jury rig, but I did make it work.
I've seen 80's betas break from tipping over/upright (when rested on their side with a tape inside), and late 90's decks die from falling out of cars, and I've also seen decks take crazy beatings and just keep chugging along...
The best diagnosis is one made by opening it up and observing the mech in action.
