has anyone ever sent a pair of technics in the post (possibly with flight cases to make sure they're properly protected), what's the damage cost wise? mine are around 13 years old, been heavily used (at parties as well as home), and are in need of a good service, tone arm/rcas/pitch etc...need to get them from france to uk and back again, plus the cost of the service and i'm wondering if investing in a new (second hand but not so old) pair makes more sense...
