John speculated 62 pounds. Mark Zyla quoted an MSRP of $1200 back on
10/22/02.

Here's the text of John's post (10/1/02):

So far the "set" features are:

The appearance of the cabinet sound openings are similar to an AR-112. As
soon as the photos are taken for the new catalog the PRO-145 will appear on
the web.

1. Pre amp-- two 1/4" inputs, gain, a new pre 12AX7 contour control cuts
bass or treble "pre tube" allowing more even overdrive up and down the
keyboard. Post 12AX7 volume, bass, mid, treble, high cut, and horn volume.
Adjustable 12AX7 front panel bias trim allows symmetrical (power amp) or
non-symmetrical (pre amp ) overdrive harmonic content. >100 Hz sub-woofer
1/4" output.
3. Three mics to three XLR's, two on horn one on low rotor. (Kobitone
elements)
2. Front panel trim of acceleration, deceleration, fast and slow, of horn
and low rotor. Led two button speed control footswitch.
4. 1" taller than a low pro, other dimensions are the same. Estimated weight
62 Lbs. Polymaric finish. Caster sockets installed.
5. Same speaker and horn driver as T and LP with a 50% horn diffuser. The
sound is in between diffuser on-off, we do not spread the horn's sound
vertically.
6. Bi-amped system 130 watts RMS low rotor, 70 watts RMS horn, 800 Hz Xover.
7. Cost ? Trying to come in below a T and LP combo.
8. Shipping before Jan NAMM.
