Well, I happened to stop at IKEA at lunch time and they had a find in
the scratch and dent room. It was a smaller TV stand, about 24 x 24.
The TV is at least 8-inches wider than the table top but I figure I
may be able to simply screw a 24 x 32 x 1/2" piece of plywood I have
laying around on top and leave it at that.

One word of caution. If this is like my old TV, the weight was concentrated
at the front of the tube. If I set it close to the front, it was tippy on a
stand. It was OK to have a foot of the back hanging off though as there is
no weight there. Moving it back 2" made a huge difference.
