Ex-B
I'd like to try and get rid of the lot in one go, but the two key critical success factors are raise cash for charity and have less things to trip over. So if we get to next weekend and there are no other bidders I might split.
There are 11 soundstage frames, 11 soundstage boards, one reference top frame and one reference top sized glass shelf.
Weighing, right... ...OK, with some digital bathroom scales and careful balancing...
Soundstage frame 2.3 Kg
Soundstage board 3.3 Kg
Reference frame 2.9 Kg
Reference glass 4.2 Kg
Which would make the whole lot 68.7 Kilos. Plus packaging. +/- bathroom scales error.
(I forgot to weigh the two bags of nuts and bolts - probably a few extra kilos there)
The whole stack would actually only be about 60-70 cm "high" if balanced. So careful packaging might get it to around the 1m mark.
I'm sure we could package up this lot into five or six lumps, using bubble wrap and packing tape. These you could stack on a trolley, but be able to un-stack to stick (say) in a Pendolino luggage rack. Trolley type depending of course.
I am about a 5 minute walk (or 10 minute trolly pull) from Salford Quays tram stop. Which in itself is an 18 minute journey to Manchester Piccadilly station. All step free to the train platform.
[I'm not sure I could get two people, all that mana packaged and a trolley into my tiny car - but if I could we could this is an alternative possibility to get to the station. The trolley being the biggest variable. And it is actually likely to take longer than the tram!]
How happy Virgin would be and if you could plan a step free route to final destination in London is an exercise for the reader.
[Do Pendolinos have a luggage area? The old 125s did, I remember chaining someone naked in one during a stag night]
Anyway - I hope that helped.
