Welcome to the Forum!

I'm sorry to hear about your loss
This is why I rarely bid on heavy sets or Bakelite sets that will have to be shipped..

Sometimes you have to tell the seller how to pack it or just have them take it to a professional, costly but better than a broken set.

The last big set I had shipped was packed by The UPS Store, it cost $100 for packing and shipping and still wasn't done perfectly but the set arrived intact and I still had less in it than it was worth.

If it's just the picture tube that's broken you can still find those, it might cost as much as the set though.

Open er up and let us know what's broken, we might be able to scrounge up the parts you need.

Eric
