is another story for another time.)

However there was almost *no* damage to speak of to the stuff, my shack and
office, that I had packed. The SP-600 and both R-390As along with the tube
and other old stuff arrived just fine. Even the delicate stuff like old Tek
scopes and such arrived dusty but otherwise working.

I guess along with a hard multiple layer or dual cardboard box system to
mail the radios in -> these inexpensive foam beds covered in heavy plastic
garbage bags should do the trick. They are VERY simple to work with.
