No, nobody wants to drag anything that heavy. What might work is if you 
pin a sign to your back saying that you actually want one of the things - 
people may offer many of them to you just for hauling.

	I beg to differ. I saw one, in excellent condition, show up at a hamfest
near the Oregon/Washington border (Longview) not that long ago. I think it
was a freebie.

	The only reason I didn't take it is because I used to work on the things
and I know, full-well, what kind of a pain they can be.
