Speaking of shipping big machines, I shipped a large folk harp in a crate from Texas to California on DHL, and it only cost $58. I have an account, which allows some discount, but that is still a cheap price. I wouldn't be afraid to ship a crated small phono by that method. John

As yoiu probably know, I'm not an Edison fan, and I really don't aspire to own an Edison player of any sort, but there are lots of people who'd kill for one, especially a C1. Remember peter, You DO know how to ship big radios, and busting one up for parts is criminal...even if I'd never want one myself. Doug.
