<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 309322, member: 54"]They want just into 5 figs but I think rigging and transportation will be similar or more. Since it isn’t shown on any kind of pallet or cribbing I’d have to go test the straightness of the bed and ways to make sure they weren’t bent by sloppy moving, a distinct possibility when I look at the photos of the unprotected machine. The test is easy to do, all you have to do is put a precision level on the carriage at one end of the bed and crank the carriage to the other end. If the bubble moves at all the bed is bent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
