How much does a 8x10 Kodak 2D weigh?

I know that it's somewhere in the archives, but I don't seem to be able to find it.
Thanks.

GEH says 11.25 lb:

Mine's about 12.5 pounds with the extra rail and tripod block, no lens. The Seneca Improved is the lightest of the cheap old 8x10's; they're usually around ten pounds.

I was surprised to learn that the 2D is lighter than a Deardorff, which weighs 14 lbs., or at least mine does.

Thanks, Guys.

Bill, I just wanted to add that my 2D weighs 9lb 13oz and 10lb 9oz without the back rail and w/o and w/ the tripod block, respectively.

When hiking distances of two miles or more one-way (at altitude), I've often left the back rail behind, along with lenses I know I won't be using--stripping down the pack by even 2-5 pounds seems to make a huge difference.

I don't think that's typical of Deardorffs, I had two and they both were 12 pounds and a few ounces, which is the weight I usually see mentioned for them.
