It could be worse, my friend was doing a live set in prague a few years back. After flying in he went to pick up the large suitcase with all his music equipment, he was diverted to another office where they broke the bad news to him, the luggage truck had run over his suitcase and he said it looked like a big comedy pancake, thousands of pounds worth of equipment literally flattened and he didn't actually have anything left to do his live set with. At least you could repair it i suppose, maybe if your buying something like that in future ask them to tape a board over the front of the controls to protect them maybe with some foam underneath or summat.
the thing about bubble wrap it doesn't really protect that well, items can still suffer trauma even when totally wrapped. Vintage gear just doesn't travel well, though it does look a neat drum machine you got there good you got it working. Whats the rectangular box with the blue and white sticker on the front? oh and what does it sound like any good??
