I have one sitting in my basement right now, ready to throw in the recycling. 36", about 300 lbs.

I don't know why I didn't post it on kajiji. Assumed nobody uses them anymore. But it's too late now. We got a new TV in the basement a couple months ago. So I first ripped the TV out of the built-in stand, to lighten the load. Could still barely move the thing, and I have a bad back, so I got the bright idea to open it up and pull it into pieces. Big, big mistake. As I started prying open the front casing, I heard popping and the sound of gas escaping. After frantically googling 'tube TVs gas safety' and discovering I had not poisoned my house, I returned and realized there was no way the thing it coming apart. So it sits there still, broken, useless, and defying me. Plan B is the draft some of the guests at an upcoming BBQ to haul the thing into the mini-van.

So yeah, should have put it on kajiji.
