Weight of PDP-8/e components?

[thunter0512]

I am trying to discover the accurate individual weights of various PDP-8/e components for shipping without fully disassembling my Lab-8/e.
Specifically the following component weights:

• complete power supply
• case with lid but without Omnibus boards
• front-panel PCB
• one Omnibus PCB

Please let me know if you have accurate weights for these.

Thanks and best regards
Tom

My machine is an 8/M so I can help only with the lighter components.

• front-panel PCB

KC8E, 180-degree switch version, without the heavy metal bar that separates the lamps: 709g
I do have a non-standard metal knob on the rotary switch which is included in the above weight.
I have only one of the heavy metal bars that separates the lamps, and it's bolted into my machine.

• one Omnibus PCB

M837 - 258g
M8650 - 294g
M8330 - 263g
G227 (X/Y driver) - 323g
G104 (sense/inhibit) - 365g
G619A (core plane) - 235g

Tom,

Google’s first hit on PDP-8/e weight points to David Gesswein’s site for the power supply weight:
Pdp-8/e specs.

David also gives the total ‘loaded weight’ so with George’s info, you should be able to back into the weight of your system.
