I have had only one item damaged in transit, a 1982 Ford AM-FM 8-track stereo that took a serious whang to the volume control/tape program change shaft. I straightened it as best as I could, but it's still not quite right. If it had been the tuning control shaft, I could have just cut it off, pulled it out from behind and replaced it with the shaft from my 1975 parts stereo. Unfortunately the shaft that got bent appears to be permanently attached to what I remember is a five-ganged control. If the control from my '75 can be swapped in at all, I'm going to need to change the PCB it's attached to. I won't part out my other '82, it's too nice even though the factory power and speaker connectors are cut off.
