Boomer,
You got three guys, check to see if the tube hold down
clamps are in place, if so, pull the decks starting at the
RF deck then the Modulator deck then the Power supply deck. Take them to the
vicinity of the truck. The power supply deck should have two guys on the HV
transformer side, one guy on the opposite side. move that to the area
near the truck. Then two guys can move the empty cabinet, three guys to lift
it SAFELY to the truck, NO
hand truck required. Put the cabinet in the rear portion
towards cab of truck, then reinstall the decks starting with the Power
supply, then Modulator, then RF deck, tighten the front panel screws. strap
the unit securely to the transport vehicle, the tubes WON'T bounce out of
their sockets, unless of course you manage to roll the truck.
Good Luck, I have moved several all alone and had no problems, except the
weight factor a pickup will only carry three at a time which for me meant 2
trips a while
back.
