Well, the receiver is maybe 10-15 pounds or so, the power supply has
to be 20, at least.

And don't forget the heavy double case and shock mount. For such a
small unit, they sure did build it well. The hummmmmmmm of the
vibrator is nice, as is the improved audio when you unscrew the spare
fuse cover.
