Off hand, consider:
1. Don't jar them, as they are bound to be sensitive to
shock.
2. Ensure that the heads are parked, and if there is such
a mechanism, that they are fixed into position with
some sort of clamp or bolt.
3. Take some care to ensure that they are not subjected to
dust exposure. Likewise for liquids. Sure, you can
clean them later, and you will need to do so but, there
is no point to taking a chance on additional exposure.

Subject: what precautions are called for when moving an RM03 ?
Hi all.
Well, the weekend of the big move is getting closer.
I intend to take 2 RM03's and not only for the good looks!
I actually want to hook them to the 11/70 and operate them.
Changing electricity cabling is planned ;-)
The big question is: how do I move these "washing machines"
so that afterward they still are in working order?
I have experience with head locking RL01/RL02, RK05, RA81
and RA60. I suspect that the RM03 also have some head lock
mechanism. Perhaps also some trick for the spindle like
the tension of the drive belt in the RA81?
Thanks for all the good advice received on the RM03's so far.
I am looking forward to read more on topic info from this
fine list.
For those who like my StarShip website:
I got the stars on the main screen correctly plotted with
the rotation matrix algorithms, so an update will hit the
site in a month or so.
kind regards,
- Henk.
