As an ASC we had to have a test jig, so I didn't do much lugging. I also cheated a bit - if we had a big tube Sony that was dead, I'd just grab the chassis even though I didn't have any test jig adapters for them and just use a scrapped yoke and HV probe. I kept a bunch of yokes on the shelf for that reason. When I got the power and HV repaired as indicated by the HV probe, I'd just return the chassis.

We didn't cheat so much, I was a 20-something who was bigger than his britches and would literally pick those big tube sets up solo and gracefully load them in the van, now at 55 I'm feeling every one of those on every bump I hit on the road... not so graceful today.
