[R-390] How much should it cost???

[Bill Hawkins]

Ten years ago, I bought an R-391 from an add that said pick up
only in Connecticut. I'm in Minnesota and desperately trying to
get an example of each of the R-390 class receivers.

So I called local air freight companies to see if the set could
be picked up and crated 1000 miles away and left for pick up at
the Minneapolis airport. Sure, says Barrieaux. Cost you $150.

The set arrived in fine condition, inside a wooden slat crate
built tight against two layers of cardboard around the set. No
styrofoam, bubble wrap or peanuts. The air freight terminals
tend to be more careful with fork lifts than the ground service
folks, and the set is too heavy to pick up and throw on a pile.
At the terminal, the crate gets put inside an aluminum container
with other freight headed for MSP, so the risk of accidents goes
down. Your results may vary from mine.

Regards,
Bill Hawkins (no longer desperately searching for anything ...)
