Paul,

You have to do everything I specified--yes, backing the knobs against the
f.p. is no good if you pick that out and do not do the rest of what I
recommended.  It is also a possible problem with cheap plastic false front
panels on some of the newer rigs.  I did not mention this earlier but you
can also hollow out the styrofoam slab so it fits over and around a large
knob that sticks way out, but a better idea is the mailing tube trick
someone else recommended.  Ten Tec does this or used to but they also put
them inside plastic zip lock bags so the cardboard did not scuff the front
panel.

If you continue to keep using the manufacturer supplied material, you'll get
a denied claim for that!  You can maybe get one extra use out of their
boxes, then they have to be discarded for no shipper will pay a claim if an
old box is used.  Also, a lot of the time the manufacturer styrofoam is
minimal and the cheap white stuff that doesn't entirely cover the equipment.


The biggest difficulty for large equipment like the R390 is getting boxes
that are both big enough and high enough quality to hold up.
