Any one here will still use the C.R.T tv's for every day wathcing tv?

My son uses a 27" Sony Trinitron for all his viewing. His CRT is starting to fade just a tad. I already have a replacement in the basement: a 36" Sony Trinitron with low miles on the odometer. Just got to figure how to get that 180 lb. beast up two flights of stairs.

Offering a 6 pack of beer to a strong friend or neighbor could do the trick. I was able to lift my 208Lb Super-Fine-Pitch HD Trinitron on top of the 1971 Zenith that now serves as it's stand and I can carry that set fine on a level surface, but any stairs narrower than it's front (read most stairs) I simply have to have a helper for.

Be careful, I wound up spending a couple weeks horizontal after attempting that kind of heroic lifting.

My 1984 Kenmore micro/convection oven is about half that weight and I can barely budge it. When I got around to moving it off the counter for for cleaning and installing new feet (it was on blocks) I rolled one of my consoles into the kitchen, put an old shirt on top of it and then slid the Kenmore onto it and tilted it on its side. Much better than risking my back.

As for moving stuff like that up a couple of flights of stairs I'd put something underneath that would allow it to slide easily then use a couple of hand-cranked winches, one to pull it up and the other to take up slack just in case one were to fail.
