Nooooooooooooooooo! >:( Oh me oh my. I'm sorry, jags. What rotten luck. Did you get a chance to check it during the exchange?
Looking for a possible "save" on this...all dynohubs feel pretty rough when spun by the axle -- feels like the bearings and cones are shot, due to the dot-dash feel of the magnets/poles. Does it smooth out any once mounted in the forks and spun by the rim?...its a very old wheel spokes are all damages qr is seized...
Uh-oh...that doesn't sound very promising. :-\
Your BuddyFlaps should arrive your way today, Saturday, or Monday if the Post Office's predictions hold true. The 'flaps are new! ;D
All the best,

yeah always buy new.
That's a good mantra jags. I think it may cost you a bit more, but the peace of mind is often worth the extra few bucks.
