[Hallicrafters] Shipping Safely

[Thomas C. Dailey - Dailey Services, LLC]

I've mentioned this before - the UPS "Service Centers" (NOT the "UPS 
stores") offer a packaging method that I've found excellent.  They have 
various sized packets of catalytically activated foam, kept in an oven, that 
when opened up and spread out (which also cracks the activator packet) form 
fits to whatever's been put in or on it.  I've shipped SX-62's, MultiElmac 
AF-67's, and even an SP-600 this way, with all arriving safely and with NO 
damage & you can REUSE the "form-fitted" packaging!.  Typically, there's one 
large pad on the bottom, 1 each smaller one on each side and front, then 
another large one atop.  Cost is around $3 to $7 per packet (different 
sizes), plus whatever box you pick.  [my cost to do the SX-62A was $62] 
NOTE:  Not all CSC's have this service, but the one in Denver is top notch.
