Many well-intentioned, albeit ignorant sellers on eBay mistakenly pack McIntosh equipment tightly. That’s usually the smart way to pack most items, however, putting packing material directly against the knobs of McIntosh equipment transfers any energy from dropping or jarring the box directly to the glass. I purchased an MR80 tuner that the seller shipped w/o original packing material - it didn’t survive. The seller discounted the sale price to make it worth my while.
Like Dan said, an original McIntosh double box is a must!
