Need help in New York area!

Hi,

I was hoping that there might be some members in the NYC area who may be 
willing to help me out.  I'm interested in purchasing two small Atlas 
lathes, and the gentleman who is selling them has health problems and can't 
box them up.  A packaging firm wants about $300 to do it, which is $250 too 
much.  Winter is coming, and I would like to start my coil and high voltage 
activities again, and these would be indispensible for rotors, etc.  Is 
there someone in the area whom I could hire to do this for me?  This guy 
lives in the Massapequa Park area, if that helps.  I would have posted to 
some of the metalworking lists I'm on, but I've found the people on this 
list to be more helpful (And trustworthy!  That's the big one.) than 
elsewhere.

Thanks a bunch.

John Richardson
