Mario, besides the posted recommendation to pack separately the loose items, normally the internal horn has a screw that fixes it to the floor of the machine and holds it in place for transportation, otherwise it will swing back and forth (together with the arm). Another obvious recommendation is to unwind it, and I also like to put a piece of paper or cardboard between the governor and the machine body to prevent it from turning during transport.

Thanks for the tips. I wasn't sure whether the whole motor and bedplate had to be removed on these early models. Looks like its a no. I'll be passing on info to the crater.

Many thanks, Mario
