40-50 pounds?!  The metal radiators only weigh 10 or so, don't they?

Actually, I'd bet that the composite radiators weigh about 10 lbs (at
least that's my estimate of the 200's),
I'd easily estimate the 4KQ's radiator weighed about 35 to 40 lbs,
everytime it took it out to be recored. Brass
is most definitely denser than aluminum, and it seemed (from my
experience anyway) less durable in
this application. I know that it doesn't fail as CATastrophically (sorry,
btw poor Bob's dilema and my friend I just
was speaking to about her cat dominance in a multi-cat home I can't help
it) as the plastic composite
radiators, but it seemed at least to me to springs leaks much more
often....

(watch my new radiator start to leak now in my 200.....)
