Me and a colleague once brought an entire PDP 11/73 (big box variety, not
the BA23 or BA213 style) down a flight of stairs; I think we removed the
RL02s first, but even then it was still bloody heavy. Nutters.

No, but it took an entire weekend and you had quad muscles
*this big* by the
time you'd finished :o)
Actually, it took an afternoon to dismantle and move 2
machines (one to
me, one to a friend). Putting them back together took a
little longer...
Once they're taken apart, the individual parts are not that
heavy and are
no problem to carry. The empty rack frame was about the worst
part to move.
