Back in February, I bought an ASR-33 teletype on Ebay. The seller is stalling on the shipping. Initially, I think there were some family issues, and now I suspect he's just having trouble figuring out how to get the ASR prepared for freight.

and getting it on a pallet, etc. If there is someone in the Allentown area who might be able to help me get this shipped, I would be most grateful.
For an ASR-33, your best bet is to remove the unit from its stand and ship the two parts separately.

Yup. I have shipped maybe 10 Teletypes in my day, once you remove the chassis from the pedestal it's just a matter of packing properly. Also be sure to lock the carriage. BIG NOTE: If the pedestal has a lot of electronics in it, and they're connected to the ucc-6 (power supply), be sure to make note of what was connected to what. It may not be easy to separate the pedestal if there are a lot of connections for modem, etc. in there. Take a lot of pictures and label everything. If there is any way you can go get it yourself, In the long run it might be worth the trouble. Bill
