A while back I posted about the 'SP-600 from hell'.

Ahhhh, fond memories from my first "radio" related job. My
boss asked me if I could reassemble a radio for a customer.
It was an SP-600 in several milk crates with all the gears
and hardware in a coffee can.

At our Sony factory service depot we once received a suit box from one
of the dealers. When we opened it we found two big slabs of foam rubber
taped into a sandwich. We opened the sandwich, and there was a camcorder
in a million pieces with a note attached. The note read 'It's all fixed
and ready for you to assemble'!!!!!!!

We frequently had people bring in 'equipment in a bag' and it always
seemed that 'Dad' tried to fix it, or if it was a man bringing it in,
he usually said his son tried to fix it.

Ah, the good old days. I presume the practice still continues.
