Best way to transport turntable to new home

Be smart don’t take the risk - pack her up.

Setting up a table is not that difficult!

I recently packed my Stabi R turntable and 4P tonearm for transport.  The directions were pretty clear in the manual in terms of how things are packed.  Plus it's very well designed with openings in the styrofoam as necessary. - its like a simple puzzle.  You may or may/not have to drain the oil depending whether the box may be tilted on not (oil spill). For the Stabi R - lowest level is the turntable base, mid level - arm and wings and the top level is the platter.  For the 4P (11), the tube with the vertical bearing points were on the top with the VTA tower and armbase on the bottom.  Assuming the Stabi Ref and 4P (9) is very similar.  If you have any questions, shoot Franc Kuzma an email - he is very responsive and helpful with questions. Hope this helps.

Thank you all for your suggestions and advice - looks like I will need to disassemble most of the table and repack in original ctns...
hopefully  I will be able to reassemble on the other end...!!

Thank you also to @slaw slaw the warm welcome
