A tale of two teevees
February 4th, 2006
My friend Eagle recently decided to upgrade one of the TV’s in his house. He offered Teresa and I the old TV (a 36-incher) on the condition that I come by and pick it up. Free stuff is cool!
Well, after some hellacious lifting to get it up the first flight of stairs (with help from a neighbor), we managed to swap it out in place of our old 25″ living room TV. Here’s the new TV, with the old one in the foreground. Not. Even. Close.
The sucker was incredibly heavy. Eagle says it’s listed at 85 pounds, but we pegged it closer to 200. Probably because it uses the old CRT technology. One thing’s for sure — we won’t be lifting that behemoth again. If we have to pay the movers a premium to move it, so be it.
I think we’re all set for the Super Bowl. Thanks again Eagle!
