Hi
You should also remove the motor and ship in a different
box. This is the most massive part of the machine and causes it
to float unevenly in peanuts.There is a site for pdp's that
has the manuals on line that will show how to lock down the
printer. I don't have the URL handy right now but a search
should find it. It is in the classiccmp archives someplace.

I've bought a model 33 off eBay. The seller

really know how to ship one -- he's just got it in a
box with styrofoam peanuts. I'm trying to give him
some instructions on how to do it right. I recall
that
there is a shipping screw that must be locked, but
don't remember the details. Can anyone give me some
instructions I can pass on to him? If anyone has
shipped one of these, I'd like to know what worked and
what didn't. I remember a few stories of machines
damaged in transit showing up on the list.
Thanks,
