Re: [AMRadio] More G-50

I like the bubble wrap stuff... then some rigid insulation ... then a 
box with a from to addresses on the outside of the box and wraped 
with clear packing tape . This box gets nested inside another box with 
a thick layer of heavy cardboard or more insulation.. fer 
boatanchors.. Usally there is room inside of the unit -- pull the 
tubes, wrap them up in old blankies/towles/rags etc , bag them (or box 
them) and stuff them in the radio like a turkey.You dont want to give 
anything a chance to move around.. Big iron should get detached so it 
doesn't end up doing the Newton thing and flying around inside the 
what have yew.. Packing with wooden crates work well also...  klc

 never, never use peanuts on radio packaging!. 
 newspaper and bubble wrap.  foam is good too.  
 when a box is dammaged the peanuts fall out and there
 goes your padding.  the rest is down hill from there. 
 and newspaper absorbs water so I use that often.
