How much does a System 1 (Atari) 19" monitor weigh?

I'm going to move my Sys 1 cab down a flight of stairs. I'm wondering how much weight I will save if I remove the monitor from the cab?

Is it 20 pounds? 30 pounds?

Hmmm... every bit counts... but I wonder if 35 pounds is worth it. Cab weights like 300 or so to start with.

It's not worth it.

Unless you use it as an opportunity to clean off all the dust inside the cab and on the monitor.
 
Assuming you are using a dolly to move this thing, you had better have plenty of help and/or run a rope out through a window and wrap it around a tree or otherwise secure it to take the strain. Take it from someone who was shoved down a flight of stairs by a Centipede, the toes of my boots tipping the stair treads sounded like playing cards in bicycle spokes.
 
Going down stairs is the easy part. Wait until you have to carry that back up the stairs.
