That shit is from the 70’s.
With how big and cheap they are and a lot more mounted to the wall I'd be curious how many tvs get left because it's easy to just grab laptops, game systems, etc. It still takes two people to carry those huge thin TVs and they don't really fit in a backpack.

Idk about that, I can reasonably carry up to a 65 inch by myself and I'm not particularly tall (not even 6 ft) so someone taller than me probably could conceivably carry a 75+ tv
I once saw 2 blokes getting on the tram with half a tv. It was a 50" or so tv with the back plastic thing missing. They were both shirtless and both seemed to be completely out of it on something. I sort of concluded they ripped a tv off the wall but didn't have a way to get it home, or to a pawn shop or wherever they were planning on taking it
In the 80s we got a giant zenith that could answer the phone. It was gigantic, but the crt was 28" iirc. As it aged it took more and more percussive maintenance to coax into life.
Odd. The one we had was on wheels. Hidden casters. I used to work for a company that built them
Oh that's interesting. The one I had in the 1980s didn't have wheels.
Yeah not everyone did that im sure. Might also interest folks to know they werent actually solid wood cabinets either. Made of the same stuff as the floors in mobilehomes
Hum... Not long ago the local police here arrested a gang specialized in stealing concrete mixers from construction sites.
We are there again I think. If someone wants to steal my 50" and carry it down 5 flights of a narrow staircase past some nosy neighbors, be my guest.
Back in my day, that was a TV stand with a sheet over it.
