SOLD PSA after 3rd broken CPS2 board... REMOVE THE METAL FEET before shipping.

I'm not calling out any one seller b/c I know we all make mistakes, but for gosh sakes, PLEASE remove the metal feet from a CPS2 A board before mailing it. No matter how well you pack it, the metal feet are designed to destroy the plastic easily when moving through ANY mail system, be it UPS, USPS, or FedEx. Here are some fun horror pictures of my recent delivery:


Such a small ding on the box, well packed in side, both bubble wrap AND brown packing paper!



Even from the inside, the box seems to have held up well!


Hmm, not too bad...



Aw crap.



Awwwwww CRAP.



Well fuck.

ahhk, too bad

Ouch, sorry that happened to you. My trick is to lose all of the metal feet, and then I don’t have to worry about shipping them!

Hi !

I advise you to recover what you can with this type of glue.



Put just the right amount, to avoid overflows.

After drying, you will fill the holes and gaps with Matte Black UV resin and smooth the excess with a small squeegee, and isopropyl alcohol and a foam stick.
Then the UV lamp with a UV light with wavelength emission spectrum from 320-390nm



frankly it does the job

Thanks so much @chacal231077 do you have any pictures of your work after the fact?

Can we expand this to any PCB feet?

Just unscrew them and pack them alongside the board… no way then can be properly protected from the delivery man.

What a bummer, looks like it was a nice minty US A/B set.
