I took one bigger than that to a repair shop a few years ago in the bed of my pickup. Repair guy (average size fellow) threw a suede belt around it, drug it up to his chest and walked off with it. I was like

Yeah, if that TV weighs anywhere near 350 pounds it's filled with lead shot. View Quote Looks like it's a 30+-inch screen. In a glass picture tube set, that is F-ing heavy. We had a 37-inch Sony and that damn thing weighed close to 350 pounds if it weighed an ounce. Moving that thing was more work than moving a refrigerator and only two people could grab hold of that TV at once. My advice to OP is to get hold of a cart and get some help to set the TV down onto that cart and move it around that way. Be sure to strap the set down to the cart, because when we got rid of it the wife's brother took it without strapping it down and then had to deal with picking the thing up off the ground on the way over to his house. He and his buddy both hurt themselves getting it back up off the ground. |

na its close to propably 100. Ok , the 350 part is overexaggeration point is, as others said (and so did I in 1st post) it has no places to get a grip of. I already cut myself pretty bad on the bottom parts. Not sure why JVC didn't grind down their plastic but damn I got a deep cut View Quote Just apply one of your Maxi-Pads to the area. |

Well, in his defense he is like 5' 5" 115 lbs. Not that I'm a huge guy either, but the thing really does seem like it is 300 lbs to him probably. Btw, my folks had that same exact TV and gave it to me when I moved out I still have it in my living room but since I cut the cord on tv I don't use it anymore.

"TV weighs 350lbs"
-Keeps it on glass- We had that same TV...it's probably less than 100lbs, much less 350 |

I had one of those, two of us would just pick it up.
You must have narrow doors, we had no problem. |

This monster? http://i58.tinypic.com/11uvpsy.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/n2g6xl.jpg Long story short, a friend's family purchased a D-Series JVC TV in 2002. It's a great TV, has good and sharp picture, still works and never let them down, I played many xbox&xbox360 games on it a long time ago. Fun times indeed ok, nostalgia mask off, lets get to the real deal: Just 3 problems with it Its outdated and bulky taking up too much space Its heavy as a mofo , I think it weights close to 350 lbs and cant fit through doorways. I am not sure how they got it through As again excuse my shitty phone camera flip phones are notorious for shit cams but im not upgrading because my plan is already too much TV has no gripping points whatsoever, and I already put a small dent into the front plastic frame. Oh, did I mention it weights close to 350 lbs? KInda stuck between a rock and a hard place Lets see what GD can come up with View Quote Is this a joke? I'm an outta shape jelly belly with a bad back. I moved a TV similar to that through three rooms. I grabbed it, hugged it close, and walked. My wife did hold the door for me. I didn't have to lift it or set it down. Just moved it from one stand to another. Maybe less computer games and more real life guy stuff activities would help you in the future... |

I wouldn't move it. I would call the Salvation Army or Disabled Veterans and donate it.

Anyone that gives the OP shit for not being able to move that albatross has never tried it themselves.
I just had to move a 36" CRT out of my house and it was one of the most difficult things I've ever moved. Take 200ishlbs. of WTF and stuff it into a rounded box that you can't grab, can't easily slide and can't securely strap to a dolly all while having to turn and twist it to get through doors and you have a recipe for a bruised ego. |

Yeah, if that TV weighs anywhere near 350 pounds it's filled with lead shot. View Quote Yeah no shit. I had a similarly sized Sony (perhaps a bit smaller) that was 90lbs. OP, when you lift it, make sure the screen faces you. That's the heaviest side and will keep your center of gravity closer. |

I'd move it with a sledge hammer and a wheel barrow....right to the dumpster.

just saying looks are deceiving.It may not look big n heavy but in reality... read the damn text. Once you get real close and look behind it you will see what im taking about, that thing is loaded with ancient hardware I swear 3 grown men in their 30s had trouble lifting that thing it and putting it on the adjacent couch, let alone carrying it around I think its bound to stay where it is, topic pretty much closed View Quote they are awkward but not so heavy that 1 man or a man and a woman cant move it. I have an old one and its not more than 130 lbs and I moved it up 2 flights of stairs by myself. |

Anything. We used a similar set up with straps that went across one shoulder, behind the neck. I couldn't believe the stuff we could pick up with those things. I could swear there was some kind of wizardry or black magic going on the first time we picked up a small upright piano... |

Throw it out the window, smash it with hammer into smaller pieces, discard, and buy a new flat screen tv. View Quote This is what I did to evade the electronic disposal nazi's in Seattle. Much smaller, so the OP will need to disassemble it. Should be able to get it down to just the tube, which should have some good lift points on it. Throwing a fist-sized rock at the screen should work too. Stand back, wear eye protection. |

Craigslist. Tell some guy you'll suck his D if he moves the TV.

I delivered my old washer and dryer to my Ex's house. Her boyfriend was there. He asked how I got them into the truck? I told him I put them in there, how the fuck do you think I put them in there.
The Ex looked at him and nodded yes. Than the pansy was too weak to help me get them out.. It's fun to show up the boyfriend in front of the Ex. Time to man up OP. Ed |
