[Amps] Shipping a heavy HV Transformer

[Victor Rosenthal 4X6GP]

I once received a 50 lb. transformer from Peter Dahl wrapped in many 
layers of small-size bubble wrap. The whole thing was placed in a large 
cardboard box about 3 times the size of the transformer.
The transformer arrived undamaged.
I'm not recommending this method, just saying.
