This brings up the question: what 8x10 camera since the Century 1 cannot use modern film holders.
I think the OP need not be terribly concerned.

I kept wondering about the weight of a newer Linhof Kardan 8X10. I found this page:

He gives the weight as 16.5 lbs (7.5 kgs) which isn't too bad for a studio camera. I believe my 8X10 Eastman 2D and 8X10 Ansco are both around 13 lbs., just as a point of comparison. I know there are lighter 8X10s than that but my impression is they tend to be expensive compared with an Eastman or Ansco.
