Turntable packing wall of shame

Dang darch, you get around. I have visited 4 sites this morning and have run across the exact same thread on every site.

We ALL know the possible hazards of shipping a badly packaged table, so I think it would be more helpful if instead of showing just pics of damage that has occured (on your website) to include step by step instructions with detailed pics of how to properly package a turntable for shipping. At least that way the traffic you are attempting to generate to your site will have some benefit to those who visit and can be referenced to others for future instruction.

My opinion.

I think Joel's instructions at the Turntable Factory are the quintessential instructions out there. Do a google on "how to pack a turntable" and it comes up first.

I touch on the topic in my July 14, 2005 blog, but not to the level Joel does.

My TD160 MK II arrived today in pretty good shape. Unfortunately, the dust cover hinges were broken during transport. Ironically, the cover itself is in terrific condition, and the table seems to operate well. I took off the bottom cover, and I was the first to do so. The suspension nuts have never been turned.

Anyone know a source for some replacement dust cover hinges?

Tvad - are you sure you didn't damage the hinges yourself while unpacking?

I took photos of every step of the unpacking to document any damage I might find. If I was this careful unpacking the table, you can be certain I did not break the hinges during the process of lifting the table out of the box.
