I obtained the Wang 1200 word processor that was
mentioned few weeks from
list member Bradley Slavik (thanks!). it is sitting in my sister's garage
in Berwyn
BER-wyn!
IL. My hand wave on the item, not having seen it, but
having a picture of one
in a brochure. 4" wide, 2.5" deep, 3.5" high, 100 lbs or so. It turns
out
100 lbs is a price boundary, but up to 200 lbs is only about $50 more.
I assume you mean feet, and not inches. Careful, Nigel.
I would think this mould be more than 100 pounds or so. Wang stuff is
pretty lightly made, but 4 feet wide is pretty big.
Based on my hand wave of dimensions and weight,
craters & freighters quoted
$500 to pick it up in berwyn
BER-wyn!
(60402), crate it, and ship it to austin
(78737). Certainly you couldn't pay me $500 to do it myself, so on that
basis they are the best option I have so far.
It seems steep, but all freight quotes these days are. I doubt you
will do much better, except if you ask that the machine not be crated
(risky!).
