[ETO_Alpha] Alpha 87A Shipping Guidelines

[Joe WDØM]

The information you need is on their web page.  You'll need to remove 
the transformer - they do have a policy that adds to the price they 
charge if you don't.  For safety's sake as well, removing the 
transformer is the better way to go to prevent possible damage to the 
87a.  If there's no suspected issue with the transformer, you don't need 
to ship it to them.  Don't use peanuts to protect the amp...they'll 
charge for that as well....
