About 8 years ago I did. Lightning damage from a major storm that took out a few pine tree's. Also screwed up the power supply of an Oracle turntable---what I made my claim for.
Amps and electronics were fine but plugged into Tice power blocks. They sent like 2 different inspectors over--more concerned with a split tree falling on neighbors property than my turntable!! They had zero clue about the value of that kind of equipment.
They had me get estimates for repair costs to ship it to Quebec and they sure did not like those UPS costs. So they offered me a settlement that was more than fair---and I kept the tonearm. Send me a pm if you want the actual numbers. I guarantee you they had no idea that some turntables are purchased w/o an arm and getting a reputable place to set it up.
you are going to have some major problems if there is not a Levinson dealer close by for repairs---don't use anyone else. And you know a Levinson dealer for a cost estimate will not be inexpensive. Make certain to include those packaging and shipping costs---it is definately a cost you have to incur for an estimate.
