And now you want to cover the front with a flat panel TV.


What did I miss?


90% of the front of the console is taken up by two vertical speaker-
grilles and the old 27" picture-tube.


If I take out the entire old TV (including the picture tube) and the
speaker grilles, I should be able to mount a 37" flat-screen TV on the
front of the console.


Okay. How heavy is the 37" flat panel? Will the console tip forward,
damaging the new TV and then really **** you off?- Hide quoted text -

about 34 lbs (I will put "ballast" inside and at the back of the
console)
