Transporting a Dumont RA-113

[IsthmusTV]

Hi all,

I have agreed to buy a nice Dumont RA-113 "Burlingame" which is located about 100 miles away. I was hoping that I could lay the set face down with its doors shut on a heavy blanket without removing any of the innards. But I just read Phil Nelson's excellent article on his RA-113 and now I'm not so sure. Could I remove just the chassis and leave the CRT and yoke/focus assembly installed? I'm transporting in a Subaru Outback wagon so there isn't a lot of space.

Also, anyone know about how much these things weigh? The seller thinks about 150 lbs. I'm starting to wonder what I got myself into...

Thanks,

Clark
