Here you go ...

The seller had never shipped a turntable before and was grateful for the advice. The perfect seller !

1. Remove headshell and wrap separately.

2. Remove tonearm counterweight (it screws off) and wrap separately.

3. Remove tiny weight from anti-skate and wrap separately (or just make sure it is securely in place).

4. Secure the tonearm to the tone arm rest with a twist tie so it stays firmly in place.

5. Remove platter (it lifts off), wrap separately and pack underneath the turntable in bottom of the shipping box.

6. Remove the hinges from the dustcover, wrap and pack separately.

7. Leave the dustcover in place and tightly wrap the entire table and dustcover in Saran Wrap.

8. Wrap the table in several layers of big bubble wrap, enough layers so that it fits tight in the box, which should be at least 4" larger than the table on all sides.

9. Put that box in a slightly larger box and put as much bubble wrap in between as necessary to make things tight.

10. Please do not use packing peanuts. If there is any extra space to fill use cardboard.

11. All of this may make the package heavier and if it does I will gladly pay extra.

I discussed all of this with the seller prior to bidding and she was grateful for my advice as she wanted a smooth transaction as much as I did.

I've said it before and I'll say it again ...don't base your buying decision on the product, buy the seller.

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
