Seal the box with packing/strapping tape.Describe any problems you have noted with the unit. IMPORTANT! In an envelope, put your name, address, phone numbers, including daytime and evening numbers, and email.Fill sides and top with packing peanuts, making sure the unit does not have room to ‘float’ around during shipment.While gently pushing down, shake or vibrate unit to settle into place. Line the bottom of the carton with 3-4″ of packing peanuts.As you wrap the unit consider marking the top, that way you avoid placing the unit in the carton upside down not a good thing for any radio or phonograph. DO NOT SEND YOUR DUST COVER – unless it needs service.Do Not Over Do It, you just need to help support it. If your Tone arm has a balancing weight at the rear of the arm, place some bubble wrap under the weight to help support the weight during shipment.Place the needle guard on the needle if you have one or if applicable.Some have their own clip provided by the manufacturer. Every model is different in how this is done. Secure the tone arm to the tone arm holder.A floating deck not secured down could be damaged. For models without these screws provided by the manufacture, use shrink wrap to secure the deck from bouncing during shipment.Turning these deck screws Counter Clockwise will allow the screws to rise up and secure the deck down, causing the deck to be firm and ” Not Bouncy” This is how you want the deck to be before shipping.Turning Clockwise will allow the deck to float free and be “bouncy”. If your record player has a floating deck (mounted on springs) you will need to secure the deck down (firm) by using the shipping screws provided by the manufacturer of the record player.Remove loose tubes if applicable from chassis and pack tubes wrapped in bubble wrap in a second carton.(Once unit is bubble wrapped you’ll need at least 4″ of space, surrounding the top, bottom and all sides.) Locate a sturdy box that is approximately 8 inches larger than your unit on all sides. Measure your unit-Length, Width and Height.

All of these can be easily removed with minimal risk to damaging your record player.

Some good items to use for securing: Rubber bands, String, Twist ties and Zip ties. DO NOT PLACE TAPE of any kind onto your record player, in most all cases it ruins the finish when removing.
