Hello all,
Not sure if this the right forum for this topic; so please feel free to move if needed.
I am in NYC and need help moving an old beast of a MCI console. Anyone know of any good companies to hire; and roughly how much this would cost?
Thanks!

| I've moved my Steinway, Studer a800's, and console a few times over the years here in NYC. I've always been able to get the job done with 4-5 buddies and a rented truck. I've also felt more comfortable moving audio gear myself. I had one Studer come to me from LA via van lines and let me tell you, to these guys it was a refrigerator not a sensitive piece of electronics. I used to own a trident series 75, which I'd guess is comparable to your MCI and we moved it out of the 3rd story of a house with just 4 guys. For vehicles, check out CC rental in Chelsea. They are cheap and low hassle and they have trucks with lift gates should you need one. |

Hey fuzz, Thanks, for the reply.
Yah, me and 5 of my friends moved the MCI into place. It was a beast, so I am trying to hire people out for it.
And I agree CC is the way to go; though watch out - They rented a friend a truck with expired plates two different times; and both times he has been pulled over. (What luck!)
Cheers. |

Is it possible that Dreamhire or some other rental company would do this? They would have the equipment and experience. _________________ "If there's one ironclad rule of pop history, it's this: The monkey types Hamlet only once." |

see if Vinny's Music will do it. They moved my 24 track and console from Bay Ridge to Midtown for a reasonable price back in '02.....
