Here's proof even the greatest packing doesn't help.  Just had a really 
nice Viking Adventurer delivered to my front door by Airborne!   Opening 
up the box showed it was double boxed  with lots of pading everywhere! 
 I  slowly removed the transmitter from the boxes with a big smile on my 
face  :-)............but low, what's that rattle?  Taking the cover off 
showed to my dismay the chassis was bent in the middle..ouch!   Tube 
tester said the 5R4 and the 807 were both goners, although the 6AG7 (the 
cheap one of course)  was ok!  How could this have been dropped this 
hard, packaged this well?   Just goes to show, sometimes, even the best 
of packaging ain't good enough.  Aarg!
