Heavy?  Oh sure, unless compared to the 5251 model 12
terminal/controller....  Those beasts were dangerous.  I remember having to
drive (half way) to a customer who needed a replacement asap, and trying to
drag that thing out of the trunk on the side of the highway in b.f.e. west
Texas...  Not a fun day...  Must have been 115 degrees or so...

I always wanted to turn one into a fishbowl.

Definitely JHHL's kind of instrument.  No synthesied sounds.  The
