Yes, definitely put some bubble wrap or foam between the lid and turntable. Try to arrange it so that the tone arm cannot move in shipment.
Place in a box large enough so that you can get at least two inches of your favorite packing material completely surrounding the TPA-1 (top, bottom, all sides).
Packing peanuts do work - if you use enough of them. The trick is to use so much that you have difficulty closing the box flaps.
Finally, do Tim a favor and send it back via FedEx Ground/Home Delivery. Don't use Parcel Select from the post office.
