Due to age and being vintage electronics, sold AS-IS. I will be listing other vintage items in the coming weeks. Receiver weighs approx. 9-10 lbs. BEFORE packing.  Note:  Due to the huge increase in shipping fees, I charge ONLY actual shipping (according to calculator) and NO handling or materials fees.  I do add 75-cents for delivery confirmation.  Rest assured all items are packed carefully for safe arrival.  Hope this helps.
