[Hallicrafters] SHIPPING HEAVY RADIOS

[Mr. and Mrs. Magoo]

In my humble estimation, the ONLY way to ship a heavy boatanchor and be sure 
that it will arrive alive is to use foamed-in-place packing.  The outfits 
providing this service are all over-they construct a custom box, wrap your 
radio in a plastic bag, foam the bottom with 2" of material, place the 
bagged radio in the box and foam all around it.  The top is done the same 
way.

Result: a box which is bigger and a bit heavier but one which even UPS can't 
deny a claim on if an accident should happen.  Last time I shipped and 
HRO-60 to the west coast it went this way.  The extra packaging cost me 
about $40 CDN but that heavy old radio arrived safe and sound.
