To all who have inquired about this item: I have updated the auction 
page with
some extra pictures of the interior and an example of typical shipping 
charges.
We're eager to find a new home for this equipment and preserve it, so 
your
interest is appreciated.

Cost to palletize each unit is $30. The pallet weighs about 30 lbs. We 
can load
the units onto a truck with or without a lift gate. Our typical freight 
carrier
is Morgan Air Freight. All their trucks use lift gates for delivery. Morgan
charges a flat rate for delivery to a business or residence within 100 
miles of
a major airport. Beyond 100 miles, the charge is $1.50/mile. A typical 
rate for
shipping 200 lbs within 100 miles of Chicago O'Hare Airport would be 
$156 + $30
= $186. Generally there is at least one airport in every state considered
"major". Larger states may have several.

Our shipping manager tells me that the pricing for the destinations 
below is the
same. The quoted rate is $375, so the total would be about $400.

Seattle 98003
Rockaway NJ 07866
Moscow, Idaho 83843

Estimates based on 170 lbs + 30 lbs = 200 lbs  transmitter
230 lbs + 30 lbs = 260 lbs power supply
Total = 460 lbs
