Some type of runner but Im sure a few of you have suggestions of things youve made. Thanks in advance!
Is the CRT, chassis mounted? To move heavier items, I made a raised platform that fits on a four wheel dolly, the type that's sold at Harbor Freight and the platform has a Formica top. The heavy items, slide real easy on Formica. Of coarse, if the platform is too low, it's going to make chassis restoration difficult.
If the CRT is chassis mounted, I just finish the entire restoration before replacing the chassis in the cabinet.
