Transmitter Plate Transformers Free To A Good Home - Weight and Size Measurements --

[Jim Hill]

I'm preparing to sell a large modulation transformer, and after 
reading your post searched for UPS Pack and Ship.  One of the search 
results was

where UPS didn't do a good job and wouldn't pay damages until brought 
to small claims court.  It's worth reading.  Searching for shipping 
and packing discussions brought up

with more interesting posts (which I have not read yet).
