The transformer in a stock 8800 is a limp-wristed little thing. I
doubt that the whole machine weighs more than 35. UPS deliverable
without any special handling in 1975.

Without more mass, the first time one shipped would probably never arrive.

Evan,
Doing a reverse-shipping calculation on the Altair that just sold on Ebay
( unless he got really screwed on the shipping ) puts the box in the 40
pound arena.
Best regards, Steven
