Ideas on mounting large crts?
Edgecrusher:
That was a very good read
thanks added it to my collection

I am the proud owner of a 36" Mitsubishi multi-scan (2 of them, actually). These massive tubes are so heavy, I wouldn't even consider mounting them in the traditional fashion. With the cases which surround them, they take two very strong people to even lift them onto a table.
My suggestion for dealing with anything of weight is to build a strong support structure first, and then build the enclosure/cabinet around it. Or, if possible and prudent, make the CRT unit self-contained and use proper framework to create a shelf as part of the cabinet framework, capable of supporting the weight. Then slide it onto the shelf and call it a day. This also has the benefit of making it somewhat modular, in case it ever needs to be moved. I've even done this with an 80lb steel-cased 27", and it works fine in a standard-sized cabinet.
Just a thought.

I'll call you next time I need to move that industrial-grade monster I have. It clocks in at over 300lbs and I'm pretty certain it will humble you a tad :lol

I follow some Facebook CRT groups, and always have a little giggle to myself when Gen-Z nancy-boys complain loudly how heavy a 27" CRT is, needing two people to lift etc. Get some exercise yah wimps!
