    I used to have a 27" set. Probably weighed about 150 lbs. It had bowed the platform on the entertainment center. I wish I hadn’t got rid of it. Those things fetch a pretty penny these days. Old games just look fantastic on a CRT.

      I helped my buddy move his new Trinitron HD (in 1999 or 2000) up 2 flights of stairs.

      Our hands were practically bleeding and thighs were bruised from stopping repeatedly to adjust our grips.

      There was one point where why weren’t sure we were gonna make it and would need to go rent a dolly to finish it. Which would have meant me sitting with the TV blocking the stairs for Horner long that would take.

      Do they really? (are worth something, I mean) I still have one upstairs in my house. I don’t use it at all, I’ve just been using it to hold the house down in case of windy weather.

      (actually I’m just too lazy to try and haul it out of the house and toss it.)
