Oh, and to add to the answer to Joseph:
These periode radios are what we affectionately call "back-breakers". Unlike the later chassis', save some biggies like 37-116 and likes, these ones easily tip the scales at possibly close to 40lbs. Every time I have to carry this one from the cabinet to the workbench, while I am walking, I am silently praying "please, Lord, do not let my back give up while I have that chassis in my hands" (I am not joking).
If this one were to fall on me one day (hope it will not), it would be a quick and almost painless end of me.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
