    One more place that has equipment to rent in Chicago is Video Replay, on Grand Avenue. Though they will be undergoing a change in ownership in the next few months, and some of their used gear will be going on sale, if you had a friend in town, perhaps they could buy some used gear for you there at the auction.

    isn’t it easier to rent all of your equipment in Chicago, not ship anything, and then you do not have to deal with customs, or any power problems ?
