I bought my first radial in 64 and it too was a Craftsman as is my present one. Both were identical back when Sears still carried quality tools. I have moved it several times and did away with the cabinet it came mounted on years ago. Dis-assembly is not a big deal I would however advise removing the shaft that cranks the head up and down as it is very easy to get it bent. Once you remove the four bolts that holds the upright column and the knob off of the adjustment shaft the rest it pretty much straight forward, just make sure to lock the carriage or it can roll back and forth with abandon.

I just wish I could get it to my house but it is beyond heavy. I probably need to disassemble it.
