Moving EMT 140 PLATE reverb

[MusicMan]

I am picking up a EMT plate reverb tomorrow that I just bought and I wanted to know if anyone has any tips for moving it. I saw the tips for moving one on Dan Alexander's web page but I wanted to know if there is anything else I could know that would be helpful. I have a truck with a lift gate, dollies and moving blankets and straps. I will be driving it 2 hrs. in the back of the truck so I want to make sure I do not damage it.

Is the driver magnet screwed on with screws or bolts - will I need a wrench to remove it?

Again any info on taping the plate to the frame or the removing the electronics from the end of the plate (as Dan Alexandra suggests) would be a big help. Be very specific as to what tools and steps I might need to make sure I get it home in complete working order. Thanks a lot.

Mark.

Hey John -

Thanks. But I got it in my house already and everything seems ok.

NICE!!! let us know how it sounds

All went well in the moving it and getting it into my house (it is in my kitchen) -

As for how it sounds well I will be posting more on that later because I had a really bad experience in dealing with the people I bought it from and I think I learned a valuable lesson when buying vintage gear that everyone could learn from not just me.

It was not exactly in 100% working condition as I was told by the seller and it did not get damaged in the move (a wire can't get fried out and burned by moving it... now can it?) So needless to say I still have not been able to hear it for more then a minute or so that I had it working but I am close to having it fixed (I hope) so I will let you know when I have it up and running.

Mark.
