Taking adequate time to properly and sufficiently pack a vintage table radio before shipping, is well worth the time, effort, and expense. It will also help prevent the heartbreak that inevitably comes, when a one-of-a-kind set has been inadvertently damaged during shipping. Cabinet damage is tragic enough, but a broken dial glass can be irreplaceable. When that happens, there’s simply no turning back the clock. Remember“It’s not just a radio, it’s history you can use.” – Your Past, Your Future, Your Now. Measure your unit- Length, Width and Height. Locate a sturdy box that is approximately 8 inches large than your unit on all sides.
(Once unit is bubble wrapped you’ll need at least 4″ of space, surrounding the top, bottom, and all sides.). Place Small or loose parts in bags and label them. Remove loose tubes from chassis and pack tubes wrapped in newspaper or bubble wrap in a second carton. Be sure all remaining tubes in the radio are secure and not loose. Bundle the power cord and/or antenna wires using rubber bands or twist ties, then place in a zip lock bags to keep from scratching the cabinet or other parts. Gently place inside of cabinet if possible. Older radios with 3 or more wires connected to the speaker, will require the speaker to be shipped as well as it is part of the power supply.
Carefully place enough bubble wrap to loosely fill any large cavity inside the set. Do not try to pack so tightly that things will get broken by either inserting or removing bubble wrap. Check all chassis mounting screws. Make sure they are there (Not Missing) and tight. A loose chassis will most always damage your radio during shipment. Shifting may occur and the dial glass or other delicate parts might get broken.
Turn all tuning dials to the low end of the band. For example, tune the AM band so the pointer is set to – 550kc) Unless dial string is broken. Fill the area in front of the dial glass with just enough bubble wrap to make it flush with the front of the cabinet.
Cut a piece of cardboard large enough to cover the entire front and place in front of dial glass area for extra protection, secure in place with shrink wrap. Wrap the entire unit in bubble wrap. Top, Bottom and Sides. As you wrap the unit consider marking the top, that way you avoid placing it in the carton upside down; not a good thing for any radio or phonograph. Line the bottom of the carton with 3-4″ of packing peanuts.
Insert the unit with the top end up. While gently pushing down, shake or vibrate unit to settle into place. Fill sides and top with packing peanuts, making sure the unit does not have room to ‘float’ around during shipment. In an envelope, put your name, address, phone numbers, including daytime and evening numbers, and email. Describe any problems you have noted with the radio or phonograph.
Seal the box with packing/strapping tape. Mark the top as: TOP or This Side Up!. For the Double box method, use a second box 3″ larger than first box. Line bottom with 3-4″ of packing peanuts and insert first box. Again, gently push down and shake or vibrate 1st box to settle into peanut bed.
Fill sides and top. Seal the box with packing/strapping tape. Print and tape these 3 labels on the outside of the box.
