How do you pack a high end CD Player for shipping?


I'm shipping a Sony SCD-1 to my father-in-law and want to protect the laser, moving parts in the CD transport section.  What can I do?

Anybody know if there's a transport locking screw on this model? If so, it's critical to tighten it down before packing? Cheers,

Nothing on my SCD777ES, which is basically the same design as the SCD-1.     
As I wrote however ,the main item to be very careful of is the brass weight which sits on the spindle. It MUST be removed and kept safe. IT is required to play. And might be forgotten about if the drawer is closed and the player not used for a time before being shipped.
A few months ago, I spoke with Warren Gregoire who did my mods on my SCD-1 15 years ago. I was thinking of sending the SCD-1, with the original packaging, back to him for a look over since I had the unit in storage for close to 10 years. I told him that the foam inserts were flaking due to age. He told me that I should never use those foam insert again because the shock abortion capability is gone when they are flaking like they were. Just a FYI if you were not already aware.

On a side note, after my 10 year SCD-1 hiatus, I listen to 1 SACD each day with the SCD-1 and I remember why I loved this player.
