Good for you, tubenutt. Whatever you do, be sure your seller understands how to properly package a radio for shipment!

Twice in a row now I have had radios damaged in shipment, both because of improper packing. The latest arrived a couple hours ago. It's a 650B that was shipped face up, with nothing filling the inside of the cabinet.

The chassis tore loose, denting the front panel. The power transformer broke free on one side. One of the back feet broke off. I'm really glad that it had no speaker, else the front panel probably would have been destroyed.

The damage is probably all repairable, but I'm not very happy about it.

And I'm glad FedEx Home Delivery brought it; if it had been shipped by UPS or the post office, I have no doubt it would have been completely destroyed.
