[Hallicrafters] Packing boatanchors

[k6uuz at juno.com]

I have shipped over 200 items and the only damage reported was a 'scope
wrapped in foam rubber. One corner was bent. The foam rubber compresses
too easy when dropped on a corner. Since then, it has been 4 to 6 layers
of large bubble wrap surrounded by peanuts.
