Bryan, the seller doesn't want a lot of aggravation.
I'd ask him to take it to a UPS office and tell them to box it - and
either double or tripple box it.

Its a lot of worry now but once you get your GE 805 safely home, this makes
a really nice restoration and it does play well once restored. Several of us
here have restored these little TVs and they are very desirable to collectors.
The Bakelite polishes up nice along with the solid brass front plate.

Its worth paying the seller a little more to properly box it and make sure its insured.

When you get your GE 805, start a restoration thread here -- we would love to
follow along with your progress.

Tom, was it you who put together some great tips about these TVs?
