Chris, the baggage handlers don’t handle things gently so if you could check it ( it’s
probably too heavy anyway) it would get broken.

Hey there must be lots of vintage stuff at the south pole nobody ships stuff back. :)
There is, and in the past I've acquired vintage stuff shipped back from an Antarctic
Base junk cleanup campaign via someone who was posted there periodically. Not vintage
computers though.
Also I've found it cheaper to airfreight 1/4 tonne vintage vehicle parts USA->Oz
than by sea freight, and I had it in two weeks instead of two months (four days air, the
rest of that time in local Customs).
Just a note on accumulating items stateside for shipment: make sure that sending entity
gets given invoices for _all_ items in that shipment or Oz Customs may demand it. I knew
someone who did not have the individual invoices for an amalgamated collection of vintage
vehicle parts and he told me it was a hassle for him to sort out.
