I almost took the Magnavox until I found out, from the maintenance man who was clearing out the apartments on behalf of the landlord, how much it weighed; the set probably would have caved in my TV stand in the blink of an eye, and so would the Sony. In fact, I was told the Sony set, with its large CRT and all, probably weighed every bit as much as a small car.

A "Smart car" probably. I'd be afraid to ride in one of those. They look like I could pick them up and crush them between my hands. A 32" Sony CRT set I handled once, I could barely handle it in a two-person team lift.
