WANTED: transportation--Randolph, OH to Washington, DC area
I'm buying a Pathé open horn machine from the good folks at Intertique in Randolph, Ohio; I live in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC. The machine, particularly the horn, is too fragile to trust to a commercial carrier. If anyone here would happen to be traveling from there to approximately here and would be willing to do the transportation honors, I would love to discuss particulars. Not looking for a freebie (although I wouldn't turn one down! ); I'll happily compensate. Thanks to anyone who can lend a hand!

Bumpus maximus--still need help moving that machine from there to here. Anyone?
Incidentally, just to be clear, as long as the machine comes to within a day's round trip from here, I am happy to meet up. While I certainly wouldn't object to it, door-to-door isn't necessary, in other words.

Try Craig's list---ride share. There are people traveling and might be able to help.

Thanks for the suggestion, although I would much prefer to keep things "in the family," as it were--especially since I've already had one embarrassing, seriously good-will-sapping, er, foul-up with a non-phono-person retained to collect it. (Long, tedious story that I won't belabor here.)

Thanks to forum member Charles (cweastlick), the Pathé machine is now safely living at my house. It will need routine maintenance work before I try playing it, and I'll wait to post photos until it's had servicing, but I think it makes a good show.
If any other members need transportation, I have nothing but good things to say about the way Charles handled the whole evolution.
Thanks, Charles!
Oh, by the way, is there any way I can change the title of this thread from "Wanted" to "Found" or some such? Explanations welcome!
