Mike you may be right. I store my original hood in the basement, and sometime last year I picked it up and stood on an old bathroom scale and tried reading it all at the same time (if you can picture that)?
I'm not sure how accurate the scale was, the lighting was bad, and I just got new glasses today, so I may have misread it too.
