These things were considered 'Portable' when new. I discover new muscle groups every time I move it. We tend to forget just how massive the original Dobsonian telescopes really were back then. These Coulter dobsonians were revolutionary for a commercially made dob as the mirror cell they employed didnot require the primary mirror to be removed for transport, something not even contemplated these days.
