How can I mount a new flat-panel TV on the front of the cabinet of a
1980's-era TV (with a cathode-ray picture tube)? (I've already taken
the old TV out of the cabinet).


If the flat panel TV fits into the hole, you could screw a plywood panel
inside, keeping it toward the front of the cabinet. Use a wall mount on the
TV so the finished product has the TV at or near the front. You may need
some additional weight in the back of the cabinet.
