I helped a friend do one that way once. Took just the two of us, with
plenty
of patience and care. Just a guess as to weight, I'd say around 600 lbs
for
the base with knee still attached.

Just make sure to get a Series I (or equiv ripoff). The Series II are
something like twice as heavy as the Series I machines, and I think it's
mostly in the base and turret/ram.
