Ever get a unit torn down completely to replace a part and discover you had
ordered a 'similar but different" part instead of the correct one?

Or grabbed the wrong unit off the shelf, tore it down only to discover you'd
ordered the part for the other (almost identical looking) unit nearby?

Yup. Did that yesterday, and it wasn't pretty. I'd ordered a complete main
board (sheet of boards actually) for a Yamaha RX-A1040 because the outputs
etc weren't available and it was under warranty, so it was agreed that I
should order the whole magilla.

Unfortunately I tore down an RX-A2010 before the mistake was discovered.

At least the only thing lost was the hour or so it took to put that one back
together and commence the repair on the correct unit.

Not my finest moment...
