  Just a quick update, I had not thought of Greyhound but their limit is 
100lbs :(  The guy shipping it is being nice and packing it up on a 
crate and willing to drive it to a local freight terminal but that is 
all, not willing to help beyond that and I can kind of understand it as 
it takes time to do more.

   I can't seem to find better rates then about $300, I just thought 
since the last Calif. guy interested quoted $150 I could do the same.  
Yeah, even with that shipping its still cheaper than buying one new but 
its more than I can get a equivalent locally if/when a used one goes up.

  Still trying but giving up slowly.

     Thanks for the replies, I have some feelers out there and waiting 
for "official" quotes.
