I try to draw the line on whether or not I can lift it without assistance :-)

The 175 is an insane unit. It is wired internally with welding cable and has an exceptionally
serious power transformer. All the switching is done using major-league relays. It has a 200A peak
collector current and 12A base current. It also has very, very large current sensing resistors.
When I first got it, I made up an umbilical to connect it to the 575 and fired it up. Just to test
it out, I wired in a random TO220 package transistor. There was a loud crack is it exploded into hot
shrapnel without very much effort at all. The tab burned into the carpet. "What is this mark on the
carpet? It looks like a burn" "No idea, dear...."
