You can ship these in a box if you detach the pedestal and put it on its
side, making sure the main unit is well padded and there is a weight
balance to the box, as you never know from what angle the box will
sit/fall/land/be carried. I shrink wrap the main TTY to ensure it stays

Yes, IMHO the ASR33 reader is an interesting thing to have, but it's only
