- Remove all tube modules and pack them in boxes (with good padding)
- Remove the drum and stuff/pack it separately (remove the belt going to
the small motor below the drum and unscrew the drum assembly from the
frame)
- Remove all side panels and the cover; there's nothing more annoying than
dented panels caused by fixating the frame to the panel and/or truck.
Do you get software and manuals with your machine?

PS: Just found the auction... you paid *WHAT*??? Wow... for a machine in a
quite battered shape. What idiot put the heavy Flexowriter on the
fragile top?? Where's the cable connecting the Flexowriter to the
computer? Oh, and it works without a power cable... Sorry, I had to make
those comments ;-)
Good luck and enjoy playing with your new computer :-)
