Glen, when we moved here, all of our checkon was corrugated boxes (we used the really decor computer boxes with cow spots....) Try to get the really big double walled monitor boxes (our airline allowed 62" max Ht x L x W, and the boxes we had were almost exactly that - but always check with the airline, as these things change...)
I would definately double box your phonograph, even on the plane.
We also mailed all of the rest of our stuff (81 boxes- after thinning out decades worth of accumulation) to General Delivery. Definately keep a list of the boxes with you (our list got packed in the last one of the 81 boxes to arrive, by accident, so we had more surprises when opening our boxes, & 2 of the boxes shipped were to have been donations, not shipped....but that is what happens!).... plus we had liner bags for all of the boxes shipped, to help keep down mustiness we added baggies of moisture absorbers with pinholes added - we used the new crystal kitty litter)
