Hi.
I think they weigh approx. 100-120 kg including the preamp and speakers.
I've heard that their weight should be about twice as much as the stage
models (which weigh about 50-60 kg).
It's hard to give a more exact answer, because it differ from model to
model. I think the older ones are a bit heavier (because of wood hammers
instead of plastics etc.) ...
Derek - please write your question in the "Rhodes discussion guestbook" on
the "Rhodes Information Site". Maybe someone else can give a more concrete
answer.
