[GreenKeys] Teletype ASR33

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

It has been so long since I moved the classic.... I forgot...    is that 
400 lbs with the rack?
I think  2 of us lifted  the  classic   12   year ago into place... and I 
know  could not lift 200  even back  then!??

The  PDP-8/E isn't all that heavy.  I've picked one up.  Of course, if  you 
rack-mount it and add peripherals, that's another matter.  The  classic -8 
is more like 400 pounds, don't even try lifting.

Now, try  carrying a Flexowriter up and down stairs.  I recommend doing it 
with two  people.  The Flexowriter I am working on restoring has an 
advertised  shipping weight of 132 pounds.

Does anyone  know where we might get additional plugboards for programming 
the  machine?)
