Long story short, my 12M I sold on eBay is on it’s way back to me with considerable shipping damage. Among the carnage, apparently the screw on the receiver was snapped in two! Packed extremely well, so I’m guessing fedex dropped it off a couple loading docks, trucks, etc... Buyer waited 3 weeks to notify me with a not as described refund request and discarded all the packaging. As such, I can’t make a claim and am out $1500!

Ok rant over...

If you’ve got a spare screw laying about or a source for one, please let me know.

One of these should do the trick. Sorry to hear the tale, man. Those kinda things hurt the most....

Wouldn't 3 weeks kinda nullify a refund? Who does that?

Thanks! I'll compare to the original. I guess I've been lucky since I've shipped and received lots of horns the past 15 years and only two were damaged. This is one of four baris I've shipped and the only one damaged.

You would think but eBay and PayPal make all the rules! If a buyer says not as described, even if they invent something, you're out shipping both ways and PayPal keeps their fee to boot.

Unfortunately, plenty of people at least try.

Got the bari over to Les Arbuckle to put things right. He had the broken screw out in about two minutes and a Yamaha part threaded right in, problem solved. The horn should sorted in a few days.
