Worse, neither this unit nor the "fixed" unit will be correct again unless the monitor is factory calibrated.
Vert/Horiz linearity and trap are all on the monitor mainboard.
I'd probably have just shrugged if the faulty board had been swapped over though... that is one of the things I do "expect with parts units". I just expect to get all my fucking parts, good or busted, unless it's described otherwise. ::)

But at least as you say it's ebay so you can file a dispute. Had it been on CL or my French equivalent where I buy all my old junk, the only option would be to cry and swallow the pill, however big it might be.
Hoping you can get your money back. In that kind of situation, does the seller pay for the return shipping, or is it you, hence you will have lost some money in the end anyway ?

If you'd bought it on your version française de Craigslist, you would have paid and picked up in person. Had you done so, the guts would have fallen out on the table and you'd very well have seen the missing bits, as the missing screws mean the only thing holding it together was literally the bubble-wrap. :palm:
So no, not the same. I'm pretty sure that you'd have said "No thank you!" if the unit or the seller seemed bogus in person.
I actually called eBay Customer Support on this one and asked how this should be handled; because it is a critical part from inside the unit which was not disclosed, she opened the dispute as "Not As Described". Had it been a non-critical external part obviously missing from photos, or an accessory, that would have been different.
Because of this "Not As Described" status, no... seller will be liable for every penny I paid plus the cost of the return label. If he wants the stoopit thing back. There is a small chance he might just refund to prevent negative feedback, but I've learned better than to hope for that.
But screwing a TEA would cost that bonehead far more than he knows; the word will spread.

Oh didn't know CL FORCED you to not ship, that's weird, why can't the seller and buyer do whatever the hell they want... if both parties agree to ship, that's none of CL's business ?! :-//
Anyway, didn't know about that...
Crossing my human fingers and toes for you, hoping you can keep the scope and get a refund, that would be super cool, a bunch of parts delivered at your door step for free ! :D
... to help you fix or/and maintain the next one you will buy, of course ! 8)

If so, sorry, but I think they have fulfilled their brief. Ok, it is clear that at least 1 PCB is missing, are they supposed to be aware of that? It sucks, I know, but the Dwagon is normally more astute than this, did you not ask any questions about this?

Short version: It was sold as an oscilloscope for parts, not sold as 75% of an oscilloscope with crucial parts missing.
That is "significantly not as described".
As I explained to Vince; had it been a non-critical external part obviously missing from photos, or an accessory, that would have been different.
There's fair reason to believe the seller knew they were doing something dishonest, or they'd have taken the whole monitor. It is much easier to remove than that PCB and doesn't risk causing a CRT implosion.
Of course, taking the whole monitor would've left a very obvious hole in the face of the unit.
