In Reply to: RE: Shipping a Turntable posted by Kidomaha on October 20, 2014 at 04:19:41
Aside from the obvious considerations of the external packaging I would suggest removing the platter and bearing and packing this/these separately if possible (depending on the product design). Otherwise at least try to insert packing under the platter to ensure that the bearing is not in contact with e.g. a thrust plate. Otherwise damage may result in transit.

Removing the bearing?
Why not destroy the whole turntable by dismantling every last bit of it to save it?
As I said. it depends on the design of the product. In respect of my J A Michel Orbe the bearing is a separate component with the spindle/bearing housing being removable from the platter. The ball bearing is also not permanently captured within the housing.Of course shipping a turntable by completely dismantling it might be the safest way of shipping ( given the skill to rebuild it) :-)
