It isn't a boatanchor, it neither has tubes nor the weight, and barely
has the vintage.

The only way it comes close to being a "boatanchor" was that Drake
ad from way back where they wrote about a customer who bought one
and stuck it on the carrier of his motorcycle, and then a few blocks
later realized it had fallen off and was being dragged behind. He
never noticed, he was holding the microphone and talking away, and
it was the mic cord that was dragging the rig along.

Since it was a testimonial, I guess but can't remember that the
rig survived the dragging.
