Yes - this set comes apart more easily than almost any other set. Ship the cabinet separately and it will arrive with no damage if double boxed with peanuts between the boxes. Chassis should also be double boxed in the same manner. Best if the CRT is shipped in yet a third box, but that takes a little more skill to remove. Frankly, the CRT is pretty easily replaceable, while the Bakelite cabinet is not.
If you try shipping it altogether, it's important to keep pressure off the fragile vent areas on the top of the set. They cave in easily. Keeping pressure off them may require covering them with a stiff panel of wood. Padding alone can't keep the pressure off.
Proper packing for shipping is tricky! You've really got to have a mechanical engineer's mind. Not all the advice above is really good advice.
