[Boatanchors] [Test-Equipment] packing these treasures

[Charlie , W5COV]

I have a couple of horror stories and the worst ones, were from the 
shipper not packing it properly and not the way it was handled. ( I do 
have a couple of those too )

A couple of years or maybe more, back I bought an Ameritron tube 
amplifier and the guy selling it was in the shipping business. When the 
bent up broken pieces arrived, there was no outside damage to the SINGLE 
box, but the tinkle as soon as I picked it up told the story which just 
got even worse when I opened it up.

The ONLY packing material in a box much larger than the amp, was 4 
pieces of crumpled up newspaper. That was the last day I bought anything 
except from a dealer, when it came to other than parts and misc.

Guess I never really needed QRO over 100 watts anyway.
