[R-390] Shipper Packing

[DCrespy at aol.com]

Maybe I missed it, but ...  I am surprised no one has mentioned  separating 
the power supply and audio modules for shipping.  Mass is not  your friend when 
a package gets dropped (and it will be dropped).  The  package stops and the 
radio tries to keep going.  The more it weighs,  the harder it tries to keep 
going!  The easiest way to get the mass  down is to send the radio in three 
different packages.  Of course the other  suggestions still apply (now to 3 
packages).
 
Also, if the radio comes with a rack cabinet, I always ask for the radio to  
be removed from it.  The only thing holding up all that mass is the  8 #10 
screws between the front panel and the cabinet.  The cabinet  (and likely the 
panel) WILL be damaged in shipment.  It is almost  guaranteed.
