I got the 10T4 today , I got a real shock when I opened the box .
The chassis was bent where they had most likely dropped the box .
As all of us know , the chassis , is made of heavy plate .
The TV was shipped with the CRT front , facing up , and the socket facing down . the seller done a exellent job of packing the TV . it was noted on the box to ship in this position , and also that it was FRAGILE , and DO NOT DROP . When I opened the box , I found the knobs , rattling around on the front of the unit , I assumed that the chassis was not bolted in and it had slid down out of the cabinet . , on further inspection I descovered that the set bolted in , and the box had been dropped so hard that it bent it in 1\2 to 3\4 of a inch . This chassis is made out of 1\16 " plate ! it also bent the stem control , I think it's for the horizontal frequency , or somthing like that .
It is on a bakelite mount , which is also toast .
also this pulled the POT for the contrast control apart , when the knob pulled off of it .
The CRT , is still good after all this , and the tough little 10T4 would actually produce some
RASTER
And the cabinet was not damaged in any way .
Im going to look into getting some sort of compensation out of Canada post for these damages . There was $300.00 worth of insurance on the package , and it was packaged well .
Its worth a try , anyway ?
