I sent my analogue synth for repair and some sick postal worker opened the box poured cola over the keys. I am spitting feathers someone is getting the sack and charged to the full letter of the law. Scum

What synth? And it could have been worse, he could have pissed on it.

Or, did the repairer f**k up and send it back like that?

Manafucturer recommended repairer so i would hope not.

Postman probably a guitarist. Or a drummer.

Did they tape up the package again after opening it up to spill coke (Pepsi?) on it?

Super bizarre

Was it a Moog? Might sound better for it...

Poured cola into it... He must have thought it needed more acid

Are we talking about USPS? Because opening someone’s mail is a felony, and it seems super odd that someone would risk that just to mess up your synth. Seems very unlikely.

im intrigued. how can you be so sure it's cola? did you lick it?

is it not more likely, another package has leaked, than someone doing this on purpose? unless youve pissed off your postman in the past?

mail = letters
parcel != mail
Still, opening is something I expect only US Customs and totalitarian regimes do.

what was wrong with it that needed repairing?
if it was "can you help, i spilled rum on my synth?!?!" then it seems like the perfect fix!

(but yeah, sucks, hope it's resolved OP)

The way the repairer made it sound was a bit ott. The package was not messed with no-one opened it. Everything is fine it is getting repaired as we speak. But the mysterious brown liquid i cleaned it before departure. I am not sure where that came from?. Anyway it,s an Analogue synth they break sometimes. What can you do anyway it,s my spaceship and i will fly it anyway i want to

. Prolly needing a service anyway

cannot believe it
