I know that he stated he thought it was 150 pounds - but... that's not even
likely. *Think of the last console TV you lifted from back in the 80's -
they weren't that heavy. *More like 40-60 lbs.

Oh, it IS at least 150 pounds. The tube is HUGE. And the back does
not get smallish, either. The back of the set must be 24" or so at
it's smallest. I have never seen a bigger TV set in my life (that is
like this one). Somebody said it has feet but it doesn't. I had to
pick my left nut off the floor last night because I wanted to see if
there were feet and I was too impatient to wait for anybody to help
me. The bottom isn't flat as there are ridges all around but I figure
that is to strengthen the plastic.

Nonetheless, whenever I was flipping it back up onto it's base, it
took all I had and I hope I am not so old that 100 pounds feels that
heavy!!
