36 inch Samsung TSF-3579 tube TV - Size and Weight of Picture Tube
 

Whats a good guess on the dimensions and weight of the Picture Tube in
this 36 inch tube TV?

If I can dismantle my TV and carry the parts down 3 flights of stairs,
I don't have to pay movers to do it.

I know I have to unplug it for at least a week, clip the tube and take
a few other safety type precautions like wrapping the tube with a cover
so it does not explode, but I am wondering, after all this, will I be
able to carry it down by myself. I can move something that weighs a
100 pounds as long as I can get my arms around it. I am 5'10"

Troll? Maybe
My 34" HD TV weighs 185 pounds. Most is in the glass tube. What you
propose is idiotic to save a few bucks. If movers are coming anyway, it
would at $5 or $10 to the cost. If they drop it, they pay. If you drop
it, you cry.

120-200lb, but what you are thinking is dumb, the tube is 90% of the
weight. It wont be safer to move, it will be much less safe, but go
ahead.

Heck, just leave it for the next tenant and buy a new HDTV.

If you do this, make sure you videotape it and send it to America's
Funniest Home Videos. Put it on YouTube, also.

Probably in the neighbourhood of 150 pounds if I compare it with my large
screen Philips. Don't try to carry it, you may find, like many brands that
there is little in the way of hand-holds. I moved it up stairs by strapping
it to a 2 wheeled cart and had one person at the bottom to guide the wheels
up the stairs and one at the top to pull (or lower) it.

That sort of thing is why I don't have a TV like that. What I have is
a screen and projector, nothing anywhere near that heavy.

I've done that with a refrigerator. It was the only thing I couldn't
move myself. I got a better refrigerator for that.

Yep elctron guns and focusing screens....oh and a cathode heater in the
neck :)
I have never had to do any adjustments inside the tube....seems like it
would degas if you did that...The only adjustments are usually on the
chassis, unless you decide it would be fun to move the magnets around
on the yoke and try to get the tube converged again :P.

I wouldnt reccomend what the OP was proposing...but when I do it with
my arcade monitors I have a long plastic handled screwdriver with a
jumper wire hooked to it...this goes to ground. Slide the tip of the
screwdriver under the anode cup (may or may not be a pop), disconnect
the anode, disconnect the RGB and sync connectors, disconnect power,
disconnect yoke windings from chassis and degauss coil and remove the
neck board..that should just get the tube free.

Also,
I have ticked the neck off of a arcade picture tube and there was no
"Explosion", simply a loud continual hissing letting me know that I
ruined a picture tube beyond repair..

Man Jeff, some people have no idea what is in a tv even thought hey
think they want to :), agreed?
