I transport lots of machines each year. If possible I always use the built in lock. When no lock is available I use the large furniture rubber bands. These wrap nicely around the whole victrola regardless of type or model. I do need to replace some of these though; if anyone knows of a current source please let me know.

I am sooo glad you reminded me... I'm heading over to the coast tomorrow to pick up a phono and I need to get another roll of wrap today.
