Just curious if anyone has one of these and could taKe a couple pictures of it or if they could post a link to photos of it?? These were somehow installed in the f/g series for shipping to immobilize the cartridge arm. The service manual just kind of has a rough sketch which isn't any help. I'm at some point goingto ship a player and would like to rig something up to use like the "packing block". Thanks

i have been looking for the packing block i had and i just cant find it... basically its a block that is the width between the stylus arm and the side of the access hatch, and its taller than the hatch ( so its shipped with the access hatch off i think? ) and it pokes out of the top of the player. it basically bars the arm in the home position using a block of foam and the case as leverage... i hope i remembered that right... i have also removed the lid and used air pockets ( fist sized air bubbles [ or ziploc bags full of air ]) to put between the cover of the machine and the turntable to prevent it from any unnecessary movement

cedatum puts the thin packing foam on the arm and then duct tapes it to the back of the player and replaces the cover. I was going to make something out of wood but their method is alot easier.
