In Reply to: RE: It is not fraud. Period. So the recorder broke with in transit. posted by Quadzilla on July 01, 2017 at 12:36:17
PayPal was not involved. It was a bank transfer. But the problem was solved - quite unexpectedly for me. I opened the top cover and noticed that two PCBs got displaced (came out of their slots). I put them in place, closed the cover, tried to record...And it works! Luckily, nothing was damaged. I am going to inform the seller. His only fault was ignoring my letters.
Now it is evident the PCPs were displaced due to mishandling in transit.
Re shipping to Russia - it could have happened to anyone whether he is Russian or not, though Russian Post is something special...

Don't you feel badly that you called the seller a scammer? I was serious in my previous post. I won't ever sell to anyone in Russia. This has been a good lesson, and I wasn't even involved. Thank you for that.Now, didn't you say that you took it to a service guy and he told you that he couldn't find the problem? If so, how could he overlook such an obvious thing? ... or did you exaggerate a bit for effect.

My belated answer: no, I don't feel bad. I brought the unit to a tech because it started to chew tapes. After more than a one-month investigation, the tech partially restored its operation but demonstrated that the pinch roller was worn out(while the seller claimed that the new pinch roller (or whatever is its name) had been installed), elements of the tape-driving mechanism were displaced, etc. etc. He said that in order to ensure its proper functioning, he had to depress the roller downwards because it does not affect playback or recording process. End of story.
I did not bring it to a tech, but a guy who used to be a tech before, came to my place for other business. I asked him to have a look at the deck and just to express his opinion. He played with various connections but it didn't help. It did not occur to him to open the cover.
My conclusion: I don't think that the seller deliberately sold me a faulty deck. Perhaps, he did not check it properly but relied on assurances of his tech who serviced and upgraded the deck.
Another possibility is that the deck was mishandled in transit or was abused by careless postal or other personnel during the "processing" stage. It's all in the past and does not matter now.
It's up to you whether to sell to Russia or not, and I will try not to buy anything from abroad for my own reasons.
