Nick may have mentioned this Gilfillan color prototype was from the late Ed Reitan's collection. I was in Ed's Los Angeles apt. helping with the moving of various items to the ETF when the movers wrapped up this behemoth and w/a dolly managed to get it down the many narrow steps from apt. to street, to moving van. The set does weigh every bit of 300 lbs. and is built like a bank vault. Ed managed to acquire the set when he worked for Gilfillan Corp. in their military radar division.
