My new acquisition is, by a country mile, absolutely the heaviest piece of vintage electronics I have ever moved. The power transformer on this is massive. I still can't believe how heavy it is and I've picked up and moved some weighty pieces. Gonna be a beast to move on the bench.

I hear ya!! I have one i paid $260 for and i cant move it around no more, let alone get it up on a bench..

That's interesting. Things haven't changed much. Have you ever fooled around with an LG 50" Plasma? They're 96 lbs! I use a hand truck these days.

I've got one (and it's Stromberg Carlson rebadge) and I'm still young enough to move those without problems though I don't particularly enjoy it...I've got numerous consoles that are worse to the point I dismantle them on location then reassemble them at the destination when stairs are involved...

You want hernia? I didn't get one but my arms and legs are quite sore from taking down a LARGE fully grown tree sized lim off our front yard oak tree...the top half has been dead well over 11, but the one live limb off the side I cut down and hauled off is about as big as the top was....where I cut it it was so big around I had to take the tip end guard off the chainsaw to get the extra 2" to cut through it. Logs 16" long on the thick end were too heavy for me and Dad to team lift and had to be rolled to their destination. What didn't help is the large chainsaw is real dull making the process twice as laborious.
I wish those cheap suckers would just save their money for a proper tree removal company to do the work.
