Yippee! Well, you could also think of it as the third working orphan on AK, at last count...
In perfectly acceptable shape (to me) and advertised as both being nonworking, one ended up being JUST FINE! The other had a loose transistor banging around and goes into protection. Got my fingers crossed that's the only problem. They were packed exquisitely in a microwave/TV-style shipping box, my only complaint being that they could've added some bubblewrap in place of some of the foam. These things are HUGE :jawdrop: Together they take up at least 80% of the volume of a PC5002M, I'd say. Avionic has agreed to take the repair job on, and he'll do a recap as well.
Here's some shots of the broken one. Both are in similar shape, which appears better than the ruthless flash shows. Larger-than-average coffee mug for scale:
