Hi Classiccmp,
I just purchased a ASR 33 teletype and now stuck with the problem of getting it here, its
in Wisconsin and I am in LA.
Its pickup, the owner will not pack and ship.
Do you know of a freight company that will put it on a pallet, band it with care and take
care of the shipping?

Randy,
One option might be UShip. These are best transported laying down once the paper and tape
spindles are removed and preferably, that shipping screws anchor down the chassis (though
I have moved them without). With UShip, you set an asking price with parameters, such as
blanket wrap, or covered shipping. Everyone from professionals to those with room to spare
in their SUV can then ask questions, accept the terms, or counter-offer. They don't
get paid until you've received the item and are satisfied. With items like this, I
almost prefer a private individual rather than a professional (bulk) mover. -C

Thanks Cory,
I listed it with UShip, and will wait to see what happens.
This was a great idea, I never heard of such a 'crowd-sourced' shipping service
before.

I would absolutely not ship laying on its side! It is easy to remove unit
from pedistal (4 screws), then ship in two boxes. I
have shipped 5 or 6
this way.
