It needs to be at least 22" x 28" x 12", this requires the column to be disconnected from the baseboard and then laid flat after rotating the column to its (transformer) base. With it being a diffuser, rather than condenser, enlarger there is less glass to break. The delicate items are dichroic filters in the colour and vario-contrrast modules, lens, bulb, neg carrier (if a glass variety) and to a lesser degree the focusing cam, this requires wrapping to avoid damage. Obviously the rest of the arrangement then wants lots of packing and padding but I do wish original boxes were saved by customers! Costs varied between 100 and 200 GBP (FedeX most expensive) for my European trip, perhaps more for a trip to the USA?
