[R-390] The BFO pitch counter dial? (shipping weights)

[Tisha Hayes]

I buy radios from overseas all the time, mostly from Israel (some PRC-174s,
Harris, MOBAT, etc...). The shipping price was not too outrageous and I
have yet to have to pay duties on old radios. They arrive in good shape if
they have been double-boxed and the tubes pulled and boxed separately.

To keep the weight down on the R-390A you might want to consider pulling
out just the power supply module and boxing that separately. That is one of
the easiest modules to get to; it does not have long shafts out the front
that will get bent like the RF or IF decks would. You could also pull the
audio deck and ship that along with the power supply.

UPS/postal gets expensive when you cross that 40-50 pound threshold. It
becomes cheaper and safer to ship 2-3 boxes at that point.

I was laughing when I considered Turkish Air's weight limit of 75 pounds
vs. 50 pounds with other carriers. Can that be the weight of a pregnant
goat?
