Weight of Predicta Tandem--Thinking of selling on Ebay

[berta12]

Anyone know even a ballpark weight for the console and the CRT of a Predicta Tandem? I'm looking for one weight for the console and one weight for the CRT with the attached 25 foot cord.

I know the consensus here is that I'd be crazy--especially after spending $$ to get my TV in great working order--to ship it, but my local UPS guy said if I brought it down to him and showed him it was working, and paid him to pack it, he would insure it not only for any physical damage, but for making sure it arrived in working order--just the way it left his store.

Local pickup limits me. I've put the word out in my area (Southern Arizona) and even if I listed it for local pickup on Ebay, I'd have to deal with cash on the spot, which I'm nervous about doing with someone I don't know since they'd have to come into my house to see the TV attached to the converter/antenna to see if it works. PayPal is not an option because they do not protect sellers unless the item has shipping confirmation. (I spent hours looking into this.)

And I figured that anyone who works on their own TV's wouldn't want to pay what I'm asking ($1,200.00) for a set that is already working. Or maybe I'm wrong.

Any advice/comments appreciated. Thanks.
