minor "this and thats" on something with a multitude of complicated computer chips inside it... i say screw it.

But then again, people had that attitude in the '70s when pitching out their Magnavox, RCA Victor, Electrohome, Fleetwood, etc. colour roundies, and look at how sought after those are these days.


But it might not be as much of a pain in the ass to move as it looks. Some consoles are lighter than you think. The huge ass 27 inch 1985 Sears console we have in our living room was a breeze to move. I also got it for free from this same website. And the inside... it may be a giant ass console, but it has a tiny little chassis... like someone took a 13 incher, stuck it in a huge cabinet and put a giant mega CRT in it. Some people might agree with me on this one, but I think some of these huge consoles should have shelving in the sides. So much wasted space going on there. Maybe put some sort of magnetic shield in there so you can store VHS tapes in it.
I'm 6' tall and 160 Lb, and I bet I can fit inside it, even with all the shit still in it.
