Even with all the electronics, front panel, screen cover and optics removed, it was still well over 100 pounds.

Time to tackle another issue - the wheels were not working very well.
As best I can figure, it had some sturdy wooden feet originally.
When I got it, there were four caster wheels mounted to 2x4.
Two problems - The casters could not handle the weight and had bent. Also, they were mounted too close to the skirt and were rubbing even though some material had been removed.





A friend set me up with some heavy duty casters and I glued up some poplar 3x4s.



Runs smooth now May seem like a minor thing until you try to move one of these beasts.
