Yikes, I don't like seeing the set on its back like that either. Definitely NOT a safe way to transport a television set, but like other posters have said, it appears that it is raised in such a way where the CRT is protected, however, the weight of that set will most certainly cause the back cover to bow in as those fiberboard backs were never intended to support any weight.

Not a bad looking set though. I remember my Grandma had almost the exact same one when I was a kid, it lasted up to about 1984 or so before it was replaced with a used Zenith that was about 5 years old at the time. The old tube Magnavox sets were sometimes quirky but they did have great pictures! Nice save!
