      mathog,

      I cannot believe I didn't think of that. Being in Southern California we get those a lot too, so it is a very real concern. I will be looking at ways to strap this baby down immediately. The speakers are a temporary stand - I don't trust them to hold up a 200lb TV as a long term solution. I just haven't found a nice stand for it yet.

              your dad is better at it than mine. we were lifting his old tv down like 5 stairs and he was not looking and fell down. tv nearly landed on his dick

                  When you had the case off, did you notice any good spots to bolt onto? Perhaps some spots on the metal frame within the case could be used if you drill a few small holes in the plastic case?

                  Veering off topic for this forum...

                  The last CRT we had, like most CRTs, had no hardware mounting points and it was restrained with four of the stick on earthquake straps. Like this one:

                  http://safetycentral.com/teeasastkit.html

                  Since it was also wedged into the entertainment center on the sides with some foam, it couldn't fall out forwards because of the straps, couldn't slide sideways because of the foam, and it couldn't go backwards more than an inch or so because the wall was there. The entertainment center itself was reinforced with 1x4's running up the back. The earthquake strap latches were screwed into the real wood of the 1x4's, not the pressboard of the center. The 1x4's were bolted into the center every couple of feet to strengthen that. These were in turn bolted to one side of heavy steel hinges, and the other side of the hinges were in turn bolted through the floor to 2x4's which were butted up against the joists. I know that's an odd way to do things, but it was the only place we could put the center, and it was in front of a pocket door, so no studs in the wall to attach to.

                  Anyway, if possible you probably want to restrain your set by bolting a structurally sound part of it down onto a sturdy wide support (so it will not tend to tip), and then bolt that support to the wall. The "encase it in an entertainment center" approach described above isn't going to be good for a TV of that shape since it will block the sound from the speakers in the back, which are designed to bounce off the walls when the TV is placed in a corner.
                  If you can't get real bolts into the TV then you could use straps (as in the picture in the link above) down to the support. While you would still have to use the sticky pads on the TV itself, at least you could (and should) use screws or bolts on the latch on the support end of each strap. The kits often imply that the sticky pads are good for both ends, but I don't believe that a layer of paint or veneer is a great surface to anchor to. Do not trust an anchor screw into the particle board like material used in most TV stands. Much better to put a bolt through and use large washers to spread the load. It may not be pretty, but it isn't going to rip out when loaded.

                  This is one place LCD panels are better designed. They all have VESA mounting points on the back, which makes it much easier to attach, and even if they are not being used to mount the display to a wall, they can be used for earthquake straps. The much lighter LCD that replaced that CRT would not fit into the center, as it is almost a foot too wide, so it was placed on a shelf extended out the front. This isn't very pretty, but there's enough metal in there that I don't expect it will be a problem in an earthquake. The straps are now bolted to the VESA mount points at one end, and to the steel rail at the other. There is enough slack to allow the TV to rotate a little, but not enough to let it slide forward. The bolt that holds the shelf to the rail extends upwards on both sides of the base (and is padded), so that the TV cannot shift laterally on the shelf more than about half and inch before it is restrained. Hard to photograph the strap geometry, but the LCD cannot fall off the shelf. I do still need to put some sort of padding on the leading edge of the center though, as the TV could slide violently back into the sides of the center.

                    Sony Trinitron KV32FV27 Suddenly Dimmed
                    by cmonkey
                    A couple of days ago I finally got my hands on a locally sourced Trinitron and after lugging all 175 LBS home I gave it a good cleaning inside and out. The guy said it had been in a shed for 2 years, but the outside wasn't too bad. The inside was another story and while there was no evidence of mouse, it had certainly been kept in a VERY dirty home.

                    I cleaned it to an acceptable level of grime, at least clean enough to where nothing would heat up from the dust insulation. I then tried it out and it worked!

                    I'd say I had it on for about 15 minutes or so and then lugged...

                    Sony Trinitron (KV-20FV12) Vertical Deflection Stopped
                    by motorahead
                    Hi everyone, I've been troubleshooting my 20" Sony Trinitron (KV-20FV12) CRT after it failed to show a picture. The standby LED is blinking 4 times, which according to the service manual is a failed vertical deflection via the self-diagnostic check during power up.

                    After getting the TV checked out by a technician and doing research on my own. The most obvious first step was to replace the IC502. I've done so with an exact NOS replacement with no luck. I've read a few suggestions to make sure the 12V supply to pin 2, but that voltage check would seem misleading? It seems if the...

                    Strange CRT Fault (Sony Trinitron M1410U)
                    by sickboy
                    This is a CRT I sold a few months ago and it's came back with this weird issue. It's intermittent, but not a thermal fault, or tap sensitive - just completely random. The right side of the picture completely blanks out (picture is not shifted). The on screen display is unaffected though, so not a fault in the line section. Anyone seen anything like before in a CRT?
