Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] Shipping an M400

If you crate, make sure the crater puts a rail each outer side of the feet that the cabinet rests on. Don't let the tron travel on it's feet! The rails should be just taller than the feet so the base is protected from any upward shocks.

I shipped a MkV across the Atlantic and it was fine.

It depends on how it's packed.  I had craters and freighters ship mine from Dallas to Long Beach. It arrived in an open back chicken truck.  It was packed like it was in a vault.  Not a scratch and worked beautifully. 

But Don't Do It!

Kind of a loaded question, I guess. But someone in Seattle is interested in buying my M400, which is in Brooklyn. Has anyone on this list successfully shipped an M400? Though I expect a lot of "don't do it" replies, please let me  know if this is in any way realistic.


Thanks!
