Airplane trip with turntable...

I recently carried on a turntable on a flight to the CES Show. A good thing i had a record with me because TSA wanted to see if it was really a turntable. I put on Al Coltrane and to my surprise the TSA agent had seen him live and really loved the music. Needless to say I made it through OK.

Good luck with your trip.

What day is your flight? I want to watch the news and see how this all turns out.

I bought a SP-10 Mk 2 while traveling and elected to bring it home on the plane rather than ship it. I already had one carry-on so packed it very carefully for checked baggage. I assumed it would be X-rayed and passed along.

However when I arrived home I found the box had been opened and everything removed. That was easy to see since it was not repacked carefully. Fortunately there was no damage. But if I had known I would have shipped it separately.

I'm still deciding on my flight.
I think I'll choose 8/15 RDU - MIA.

Ship the package UPS or FedEx to yourself to be picked up by you at the UPS or FedEx destination city. Pick it up then present your gift to your friend.
