I am going to be shipping a turntable in the next few days. In the past I havent always been successful at it without damage occurring.Maybe some of you have some tips?
Thanks
Follow Ups:
I have followed goofytwoshoes method for packing. I shipped a Dual 1019 and a Thorens TD-160 without mishap.Proper packing takes a little longer, and costs a little more for materials. Will worth it, though, to have a happy buyer at the other end.
Remove platter. Pack separately. Remove counter-weight, anti-skate string and weight (if it has them) and cartridge.
Tape arm to armrest. Either remove the machine from base, or snug down the fastening screws. Set into packaging, so that the arm, and the knobs, are not going to hit the inside of the box. This requires extra cardboard, or wood, or bubble-wrap.
Put box into a second box, using more peanuts, or bubble-wrap.
Cross your fingers.
Definitely seperate the base on older models like a Dual or Miracord turntables. Ship in seperate cartons...when new they were! You do the same.Regards,
