I recall, when I was in high school, our big console TV died. My older brother, and Dad brought, home a Sony that was the same screen size. Then, they spent hours removing the guts of the console. Next, they shoved the Sony TV into the console through the back. :bigg:

I have many memories of my father "fixing" the TV, which usually ended with a call to the repairman. One memorable day he was using a flashlight as he poked around the back of the TV. In drunken frustration he loudly announced, "My ass gives off more light that this gotdamn flashlight." It became a family favorite laugh getter when he wasn't around.

I gave my now, wife her engagement ring. She gave me a Sony. We drove up to Lincoln Mall, about half way between where we live and Chicago. I got to pick out a huge 27" Sony at Circuit City.

They bring my TV outside to my car, a Datsun 200 SX. I take it out of the box because there was no way that would fit. I was hoping there was a lot more Styrofoam and that was why box was so big. No way the trunk would work, it looked like it would fit in the back seat but, I had to get it there. Removed front passenger seat, then I had to remove the console between front seats. Put passenger seat back in, pushed the front seats all the way forward. No problem for tiny future wife. Lots of problems for me . My forehead was pressed against the windshield. There was actually a tiny space between my stomach/chest and the steering wheel but, I had to stick my elbows out to the sides to hold the steering wheel. Fun ride back home on I57.

Now, you could probably slide a 40” TV in the back of that Datsun because modern TV’s are so thin.

Our electronic genius grandfather fixed TV's on the side, so we were covered. He and his brother designed and built police department station radio systems.

He had the ultimate set of tools.
