The 38-116 was shipped in 2 cartons and the cabinet arrived w/o a scratch. Chassis was in a box that contained one inch of styrafoam {sp} all around.Box was wraped with several layers of film.Apparently box was dropped on dial side of box resulting in dial compressing foam to a thin layer and putting dent in box:no penetration.Large tuning knob was broken, brass pinion shaft was bent at 30 degree angle where it exited holder, and vernier shaft cup that compresses ball was flattened on one side. Need to get that fixed also. Most damage I have experienced with a radio shipment.On the bright side I now a radio I've lusted after for years.
