Ifinally got the SX-1980 receiver back, he packed it well in a good strong box.I was very worried about it getting damaged and going thru UPS. I powered it up and it plays real nice now. I don't think he cleaned it up as much as I thought he would . I did all the cosmetic restoration myself and I am very happy how it looks now. I think he should just state in the future that it will take 4-6 months for repairs rather than the 1 month he told me.

I am so happy for you. Unfortunately, next month will be a year he has had my SX950. I have called and texted probably a dozen times during the last year and he has responded about three times, always an excuse of some kind.

Kissisone, did you ever get your SX-950 back? Brent sold my husband a SX-950 that only powers on, no sound. He sold it on Facebook marketplace under a false name, the only reason we found out who he is was that he accepted part of the payment from cash app. He sold my husband 2 receivers a Marantz and the SX- 950. He said they were in excellent condition. The Marantzs power cord has black electrical tape on it and the 950 only powers on. His greed got the better of him that's how we found out what a fraud he is. I hope he didn't sell us your SX-950.

Great discussion
