Oh yeah, a 21" Trinitron. Desk buster is very appropriate.

I once lugged home a free 32" Sony Trinitron, by myself. (Free to anyone who could lift it) Beautiful picture but it sat for 3 weeks on my living room floor before I decided to just sell it. I mean I could have reinforced the TV stand with 4x4's, or maybe just built a new one out of reinforced concrete, but I decided to let it go to a new home, where it probably still sits like the living room monolith.

gently caress. Trinitrons.

I'll put this in perspective: I work for a moving company, and we charge a step fee for items that go up or down stairs which we have deemed "unnecessarily cumbersome" (IE: We loving Hate These Things)

There are only four things on this list.

Pianos.
Vending machines.
(Large) Gun safes.

and loving Trinitrons.

We once moved a 40-some-odd-inch Trinitron TV up two flights of stairs. It took three guys to do it, two on the bottom to provide support and the one on top to lift and guide. China hutches, entertainment centers, sofas, beds, desks, you name it, the majority of them we lift with two people. But Trinitrons get three.

My mom and dad still own one and keep it in their attic, and I think as a birthday present I'm going to ask if I can put an axe through it and toss it off our roof.

If you ever need to move to a new place, and you own one, I highly suggest you do the same

I have to ask, how the hell did they get it into their attic? Did they use a winch?
