I know that this seems like a strange request, but can someone tell me
with weight of an Apple II with monitor and 2 Disk II drives? I don't
care what type of monitor, and to the nearest pound is fine. It's for
an article that I am working on. Thanks.

Vectronic's Apple World says 11.5 lbs. for an Apple II Plus, Apple's
website says 18 lbs. for a Monitor IIe, and MacShack says 4.5 lbs.
(shipping) for one Disk II. *shrug*

My kitchen scales show 4 pounds 1.3 ounces for a Disk II. The Apple II+
itself gave 11.2 pounds or so, converted from 5.1 kg since it went
beyond the 10 lb maximum of the pound scale, so I had to switch to metric.
Note that I didn't bother removing plug in cards or detaching cables, so
take this with a grain of salt.
I'm using a relatively new TV as a monitor, so I didn't bother weighing it.

Thayer, Linards, thanks! Linards, thanks for jumping on the scale. I
will be using 34 lbs for my estimate. Thanks again.
