[Texasrocker]

For transporting old Console Radios, I use a old fluffy type U-Haul furniture moving pad and my pickup truck. Since in never rains in Texas anymores ( and we still use pickups) ha!, I'm usually good for rain free transport 24/7/365 these days. I always carefully inspect before loading any radio, and make sure all the chassis bolts/ screws are still in place and secure. Many times they are missing. Same with the speaker mounting nuts. If they are really old late 20's sets, I also remove the audio output & rectifier tubes from the chassis before loading. I then use my 2-wheeler dolly and get the radios rear side next to my tailgate, pull the pad out abit over the tailgate, tilt, and slide the radio rear side down, then slide it up next to my pickup cab and rope it off from the bottom.
That way if I stop at Rons Bar & Grill on my way home first, and then accelerate to much on the way to my shop, the rope holds it! Never lost a good #45 or #80 tube yet!!
