You won't notice it once it's in your entertainment center, so that's a non-issue.  Check Pictures 8 and 11 for that.  2)  There is a blemish above the memory button.  I think you can buff it out with some TLC.  Check picture 12 for that.  3)  There is a small scratch on the screen.  Check pictures 13 and 14 for that.    Because of the value of this tuner insurance is required.  USPS charges 4.60 for $300 or insurance.  (http://www.usps.com/insurance/welcome.htm)   I'm offering two shipping methods for you: USPS Parcel Post: 13.95 (5-7 days) USPS Priority:  19.95 (2-3 days) The unit will be packed in a large box with extra, extra bubble wrap and peanuts   Tuner is being sold as-is with no expressed or implied warrantees or guarantees      Place a Bid!
