Good question. I knew there were cracks on the left side before buying it. It seems they tried to glue it with superglue.

It was pretty well packed and there was no apparent damage to the box. But you can see how it arrived. All the tubes were leaning to one side also. As far as I can tell the box was dropped flat onto one side, and also perhaps onto it's top. The g forces could have been high without damaging the box.

And with previous damage the bakelite wasn't very strong.

I didn't feel it was worth the hassle of filing a claim with FedEx.

I'm mostly worried about whether the CRT is any good. I think I can put the bakelite back together without it being too noticeable.
