And hope it's a Trinitron or something with sharp edges. Those RCA bubbles will slide right out of your hands.

But those were heavy as hell. Friend had a massive black Trinitron he used to bring for parties and it was a struggle to get it up the stairs every time.

Try moving a "normal" size LED TV by yourself in 2024, you can't because they are 55" or 65".

I had a 21" crt that I obtained from my government desktop support job that I used to take to LAN parties. Lugging that around was a real struggle.
