Arcam Diva AVR300 receiver-silver

I bought it as a fully functioning unit in very good condition. And, after initial power up hiccup it was working fine - for a day. Next day I couldn't power it up until I unplugged the amp for a few times from mains power. It dropped the DSP mode as well. I opened it up and there it was. A dreaded bulging 3300uF cap in the regulator circuit . You will need 12x 3A schottkys and a dozen of caps on the main boards replaced or just few main ones around regulators. Re-flowing the solder points on mother board won't hurt also. It will come with original box and manual but no remote- $80 .Now the sticky point which is shipping . Amp weights 46 lbs packed in 23"x 21"x 11" box so the shipping via Fedex will be expensive at over $50. I don't have fedex account so either you will send the shipping label or bear the retail shipping charge. The receiver is sounding very good when operating with more than decent RDS FM tuner. I will provide pictures if requested but its in a great cosmetic condition except loose speaker's terminals for center channel.
PS I should add that it was $2100 unit when new...
