You are expecting particle board shelf, which is sawdust and glue behind a fake-wood sticker, held up only by 4 pins a couple of inches removed from each corner to support a 150 lbs. or more CRT?

Please post pics of how that works out.

Fuck that noise. If you want period looking TV the correct solution is to slap some fake ass wood veneer on that shit with wallpaper or whatever. If that sounds like it's a fucking ridiculous thing to do, now you're getting period sensibilities. People gave no fucks, did what they wanted and slapped wood/vinyl all over shit.
No reason to get rid of a decent 27" display already in place. Though he could fucking clean the screen with some vinegar and newspaper.

That's false. The comment suggested a perfectly fine resolution to a complaint that someone had as well as criticism of the mostly invalidity of said criticism. As well as them trying to argue a different point after the fact.
It's likely that the person was or is friends with a mod and got assangry that someone pointed out their comment wasn't very well thought out. There was no valid reason for removing my comment but not the person effectively trying to shitpost.

the sony trinitron weighs more than a man anon

it has probably destroyed more fingers and caused more hernias than any other tv

it is truly a monstrosity, deceptively massive, at a glance any crt appears heavy, but the trinitron is probably -three times- as heavy as that

OP here.
This isnt a pathetic all natural glue ikea partical board .
This is from the 80s. It uses deadly toxic poison for glue & the sawdust its made from is from 2000 year ild rainforest trees. Being almost 40 years old has aged it like a fine guitar.
This entertainment center is better than its ever veen before and every day that passes it veats its own top score.
It could easily hold 3 more 36" Trinyz till the world gets blown up by the sun all day!
