Yes, they weigh a ton. I think if you removed everything plastic from the whole set, it would fit in one hand, all else is metal. I love these tanks, I have a 23" '67 model on a cart that looks somewhat like this. I have 2 1970 20" models that look very much like it too. One was saved from the dump and was slid on pavement on all sides but the face but works pretty well, the other is mint looking but has something wrong with it. As soon as I can get a decent work area together again, I'll combine the two sets into one perfect one, or maybe get 'em both working right and have a junky looking one with "character"
If I were you, I'd hold onto that one until you're more familiar with working on color sets and in the meantime look for a flyback and any other parts it may need. There are a few white ceramic caps in those that like to explode but that can be fixed with 5 bucks worth of caps, so no biggie. Trust me, if you hold on to it and wait patiently like I just said. You will be happy later.
