Weight 10.9 lb. without the Horseman aluminum case you can see at around 2:30 into the video. The empty case weighs 15 lb. ...

Re: Kentmere Doomed

...Harmons factory is on a lease. A fairly short lease... I wouldn't call a 20-year lease (with 18 years remaining) short. Plenty of time to make other arrangements. ...tell me that you would be suprised to see Harman Technologies move the plant abroad!... I wouldn't be surprised to see Ilford's pl...
