I 2nd what Chuck recommended, if that's not an option find someone you 100%
trust. Anything that shock would hurt, have it removed, then one could find
a electronic equipment mover. Most of the big moving van companies provide
that service.

  Hi Folks,
 I recently became the owner of an LGP-30, supposedly in 'working'
 condition. However, the machine is roughly 2000 miles from me and
 will need to be transported by freight. Before it's palletized, are
 there any special precautions I should take to ensure its safe
 travel. I'm especially worried about the drum (drum lock?), but
 haven't been able to find a maintenance or setup doc.
 Anyone out there with experience or can offer a few pointers?
 
 Is this the LGP-30 that came up for auction in Canada?
 Personally, I'd buy a plane ticket and supervise the packing.  There
 are,  IIRC, 110 or so tubes, a drum and other goodies that should
 probably be removed and shipped separately.   Nothing like getting a box
 o' broken glass to make life interesting.
