Another treasure(s) destroyed GE Locomotive

[Sparky]

Yeah I already knew it had issues, all of no consequence to me for repair. The picture looked the same on eBay before its shipment, except of course it's now shifted and needs an alignment as well.

So thanks all for your comments everyone, now I have received a reply to my complaint of damage. The seller doesn't want to even see pictures of the damage, he just wants to send me a UPS call tag! Well thanks for asking me for options! So my question is this... I want the set, but I need to be monetarily compensated for my loss, aka $.

So how do I get a person like this who wants to damage it for good by having me ship it back in the same "box" or at my expense because I don't want to see it damaged?
It will take time and money to fix his blunder. I don't want to ask anything out of the norm. Your opinions I await. Tom.

If it were gone, you wouldn't have a raster and the brightness of the raster that you do have lends me to believe that it is pretty close to proper adjustment.

Looks like someone listens to the Moody Blues, what with your piles of trials and the like...
