There's a transformer about 2' on a side and the unit weight around 800 
or 900#.  Make sure it's close, or the freight will exceed the cost, 
even @ Sellam's asking price.

I sold one to a couple of guys in northern california some time ago.  I 
never heard whether they got the tape or disk systems running or not.

thanks
