Thats what I did and now I have it sitting in the living room as a conversation piece. And it truely too. Evertyone that comes over I just have to show it off with the motorized doors.

And all the paperwork, wow! Thats amazing. Both remotes too and the accessory cabinet looks great! Dude way score!

I have one and im green with envy
lol

Thanks! I was shocked to find it in this condition (with all the stuff with it). I had some thought of taking the wooden sheath off the RM-706W remote, and having a woodcrafting shop duplicate it. I don't know if there are more than two of those existing, as most of the KV-3000s seem to have only the non-wooden RM-706. I'm not sure if you got the paperwork with yours, but I could make you good quality color copies if you like. In fact, I may still have the sales receipt from the one I bought new in '86 at Adray's, which would be a neat curio to add to either set's papers. I'm hopeful that my wife will be on the same page, and will be happy to have it in the house, since it has a nice cabinet and actually can be watched. She isn't quite so enthusiastic about LARGE TVs that are for decorative purposes only, or cars that are to be looked at and not driven, LOL.

You're not kidding! 510 lbs uncrated. I plan to pull the chassis (comes out in 1 piece with CRT), and move it separately. If there's to be a stunt/showoff picture, I'll wear a belt & straps . I couldn't resist doing this picture for my fellow air raid siren collectors. This siren I'm holding, weighs about the same as that Sony TV. I had to wear powerlifting hooks, since it's too heavy for the bone structure of my hands & wrists
