Hi Glen,
I'll check out your pages very soon, it's always very interesting to see the sets that people have. (And where they manage to put them all!) I have a total of 6 at the moment, but only the squarer HMV working for now) As I'm renting, I haven't got a proper workshop which is very frustrating.
The Predictas cost about A$700.00 to freight each, packed in a box inside another box, lined with foam. The sellers I've bought from have been excellent, the only annoyance happens when I see a TV I want on ebay but the seller won't ship. The Holiday I bought was listed 3 times before I came along and bought it, the seller mentioned on the 2nd and 3rd listings that the previous winning bidders were put off by the freight costs. I paid a fortune for this, and prices have dropped since. But I have it, it's in excellent condition, and I love it. Can't wait to restore it.
I also had a small GE 17 inch set brought over, and all 4 US TVs have arrived intact. Asking the seller to remove the CRT plug and pack it aside so it can't break the neck of the tube can help, but I've only had that happen once, and all of my tubes are OK. (Not sure about emissions on the Holiday tube yet!)
Catchya,
Adam
