How to ship a Sota Sapphire without original box?

W/O orig packing there is a significant likelihood of damage. At the very least you need to remove the arm, the armboard, the lead weights, and lock down the suspension. I would strongly recommend buying a shipping carton and if you don't have one, a manual so you can do this correctly. If you search the forums, you will find pix of AR TTs that were destroyed in shipping. the AR is a simpler and lighter table than the SOTA.

You might ship a good table but it will arrive trashed. Sota employs a very unusual design and shipping it any way other than intended will ruin it.

It costs about $60 for a new box, but that's a lot less than a new sapphire.

Don't do it...

I hate to move my SOTA across the room, let alone ship it!
