"...One drop kick and that heavy iron would launch right through the bakelite case. ..."

You are quite right. I won one of these 25 cycler's maybe 2 years ago, "restored and working fine", but by the time the UPS finished bouncing it around it did not work right. No actual visible damage, but it acts like something in the Horiz sync got knocked loose. I never had time to fix it so it is still ill.
That is one heavy set for a 7 incher!
