how to source transit screws/pack a Roksan Xerxes?

[wojtek]

I’ve perhaps rashly agreed to buy a roksan Xerxes x with an old sme arm. However it doesn’t have the original box or transit screws as far as I know. It will need to be driven from London area to Scotland...

I was going to see if my brother in law can collect it but beginning to perhaps wonder if I have been rash. I’ll try calling roksan to see if their transit screws are some sort of standard type, but if anyone knows please do share!

Thank you.

In case it’s helpful to anyone else, I callled Roksan and spoke to an incredibly helpful person who picked up the phone straight away. Apparently as it is not a suspended deck, if it is being driven up a transit bolt is not essential, it just stops the motor from spinning or coming off its bearing. Very impressed, looking forward to buying parts from them.

Do make sure whoever moves it, does so after removing the Platter.

Thanks Jim - have been extra careful about that and securing the arm. The driver is bringing a quilt to wrap the box in...
