As the years pass I'm realizing that all vintage radios and TV's should be shipped in more than one box. It should be cabinet, chassis, and with larger radios, speakers. The fragile cabinets cannot take the jolting of these heavy components.
The GE "locomotive" is one of the best examples. The chassis is quite heavy for it's thin-walled cabinet. In normal situations it's fine, but not in today's harsh shipping treatment. There's many weak points on that set, especially on top with all the vent slots. The seller of mine had it shipped to him and it suffered a crack at the top that I had to JB Weld.
I hear that because of this, a totally crack-free example is getting rarer and rarer.
Good luck with yours - it's a "must-have" vintage TV
