500 pounds, then? Question: What are your forearms, shoulders, back, and
everything else rated for? :-)
(This reminds me of the ol' conundrum Superman's human girlfriend faces,
given that certain parts of her anatomy aren't rated to handle certain
pressures Superman can probably...uhhh...generate. I'll leave ∗that∗ to
your imagination.)
Speaking of which...We're going to need something to get Jimmy Moore's Mark
II into his basement---carefully. Perhaps these straps, but they might be
dangerous lugging 300+ pounds down a steep flight of stairs, or a
Roll-or-Kari (if it'll fit a Mark II---Rick??). Or the third option: It
stays upstairs in the front room. It's a lot easier to run audio cables
than to transport a 'tron. :-) (Jimmy - you ∗can∗ remote control your
recording PC easily (and free using VNC - www.realvnc.com) if it's on the
network, btw, so leaving the 'tron upstairs isn't impractical.)

M400 #805 - rated for 120 pounds
M400 #1037 - rated kinda low 'cuz you can't dance to anything w/ a 'tron in it
