Shipping/Transporting a Jukebox

I'm looking at a 1015 that is about 600 miles away.
I'm wondering what's the best way to get it home?

I've never had a jukebox shipped. What's the best way to ship a 1015?
Can anyone give me an idea what shipping would cost?

My other option is to drive up and get it myself (10 hour drive up there).
I drive a pick-up, and can haul it home laying it on its back.
In addition to removing the amp, records and platters, and securing the tone arm, is there anything else I should do?

Your only cost to pick it up would be gas and time. Cheaper than having it shipped unless you value your time at $100 per hour.
I personally would remove the tone arm rather than just secure it for a ride like that on its back. Other than that you pretty much got it figured out.
Is the 1015 restored or unrestored?
