Airplane trip with turntable...

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.

Please find me in the World News stopped by TSA and searched to almost a point of missing a flight to verify that it's record player...

Didn't see that one coming.
