Re: [vcf-midatlantic] (Semi-off topic) Looking for a place in NJ that does in-place expandable foam packing.
I've used Insta-Pak RT for shipping very delicate/expensive electronics and lab equipment in the past -- I'm currently out and need to order more. It's excellent packing material, a little expensive, but not so expensive if you consider the risk it avoids! I buy mine through ULINE. Make sure to get the Insta-Pak *RT* variety -- RT indicates "Room Temperature," the cheaper Insta-Pak requires a heating plate or it won't activate.
Thanks, Jonathan
I shipped a TRS 80 model 3 by filling the box that chocolate syrup that hardens when it cools. Makes a perfect mold. I have not yet heard back from the guy but I bet it worked perfectly. If you're going to do that with an Apple 1, you should probably shrink wrap it first, it might be hard to spray off all of that chocolate. -- @ BillDeg: Web: vintagecomputer.net Twitter: @billdeg <https://twitter.com/billdeg> Youtube: @billdeg <https://www.youtube.com/user/billdeg> Unauthorized Bio <http://www.vintagecomputer.net/readme.cfm>
