Problem with that is that the cost of sendig the pair to US and back to Europe is same as cost of one new GPA driver.
But once I have got a conclusion from the ebay seller and depending on that conclusion I could phone GPA and hear if there is a possibility of me fixing the drivers myself, with parts from GPA.

I didn't realize that you are in Europe, although, I see you did mention international shipping. If this was a case of bad packing/shipping, it would have been better to leave them as is, and not take them apart. Now the seller and shipping company have grounds to say that you simply disassembled them.

I took a lot of pictures, before and after. The drivers where only held together by the magnetism. The bolts where sheared. I only disassembled the normal maintenance part, i.e diaphram.

Good news, the seller was a gentleman and has refunded the auction price, my loss is postage, import tax and tax handling charges (same amount as auction price). If I can use the refund to salvage one of the units I'll be happy. I'll contakt GPA once I have time to work on this and ask if one or both units can be salvaged with new GPA parts and assembled by me (to reduce postage and handling fees).
