I used to have a huge (for the time) Sony CRT TV. I could just about lift it for small movings about but definitely needed two people if you wanted to move it a bit further.

There's a 21" CTX 4:3 monitor in the front room office cum tip that's so heavy that I can't move it anymore, other than from desk to desk when I'm cleaning.

Now I think about it there's a 26" 4:3 crt Panasonic tv in there too, which is ditto.

Should we include mods in our estimate?

they said spammers not addled brains getting lost on the way to the loo (Cojak obviously excepted!)

Do you know how many spammers per day hit this forum, whose posts you don't see because we keep on top of them?

Wind your neck in.

RobertMason's email address is listed as a known spammer from Bangladesh. He isn't our local troll. Just because you saw his account being created around the time Baddish was banned you jumped to the wrong conclusion.

we had one of these in the area It was a 2 big man carry. Sony CRTs weighed 50% more because the Trinitons needed extra glass to get the picture right.

The Sony CRT's became the go to in the CAD world as well and it was my job to drop them off and install them back in the day. Number of times no one on customer site would help and I had to man handle the thing in to the building. Part of the sales and handover was for the customer to confirm the desk could take it after a number desks collapses. H&S wasn't up to much back then.

Those 26" Dynatron Treewood tvs were damned heavy.

They did one with a built in Philips N1500 VCR in the top which must have been even fecking heavier.

How well I remember the joy of lugging one of those things up a staircase with a rightangle half way up.

No wonder I've got a bad back.

I dread to think how much that fecker weighed, the VCR alone was built of girders.

I am from the mentality that my bookcase should be bigger than my TV so only went small which is perfect for a bedroom

Hope that thinking only goes as far as TV's

[SimonMac]

excellent its a bit rich for me but very cool. I liked the Dynatron idea 30 years ago but time has moved on.

In a completly OT moment, I just bought a Samsung Frame for the daughters new bedroom, first time I have splurged on a high end TV in a while and am seriously impressed with it!

You would be looking for a Dynatron but they went bust.

I prefer this as a modern solution

We don't pay you enough

[WTFH]

EDIT: And to prove my point RobertMason joins less than 30 mins after Baddish is banned.

Turns out the VCR weighs about 18kg, 40lbs, near as dammit.

There's one upstairs, oddly enough.
