@vwbusguy @elfi If I could afford to have it shipped, I would already own it. There's a reason I'm sharing it everywhere I'm allowed to instead of using it to check my email in Alpine right now.

@mos_8502 And that's already factoring in that it's domestic in your case :p

@elfi In-province even -- but shipping a CRT is a nightmare. You have to use a crate or reinforced box, and you have to use expanding foam.

@mos_8502 Yeee, truthfully I'm concerned about that with my old Amiga monitor back in Seattle too. I was considering taking it back with me on the plane back in May but I didn't have any way to procure the packing materials in time

@elfi The UPS store usually has the capabilities needed to properly package a CRT -- basically, line the crate bottom with a big plastic bag, shoot some liquid foam into the bag, fold it over and put the CRT on it as it expands, then do the same on the four sides, then the top, then seal the crate, then put metal strapping around it, securing it to a wooden bottom plate of the appropriate size.

As I said, a nightmare to ship.
