If you decide to ship this puppy, remember that EFJ crated it for
shipment. I speak with some unfortunate experience that Valiants don't
take the ride well... at all! The VFO reduction drive and coupling will
be ruined and the iron will rip loose. Double boxing does not seem to do
the job... it really does require a stout crate. Maybe one of those
industrial-strength, multi-layer boxes with hard-foam corner panels
might work??? Too bad no more "Railway Express"... if anyone remembers!!!

When I purchased a Viking 6N2 Kilowatt, I had the seller remove the HV
transformer and choke and box them separately. I don't think it's wise
to try and ship anything with the heavy iron in place nowadays.
