My Alpha 96 was delivered by two trucks w/lift gates (count em 2). Because the crate is sooo long they positioned the trucks so the lift gates were touching each other, then they rolled the crate between them and simultaneously lowered both gates to the ground. A beautiful sight.

I took some pics of the crate and the process of uncrating the contents. Hopefully, I can post them in the next couple of days. I did manage to bolt together the table in approx 4 hours by myself. Now comes the hard part, squaring, leveling, mounting the infamous rails and all that goes with them (more leveling, straightening, etc.)
Hope to be running by the weekend. We'll see.
