Whats a good guess on the dimensions and weight of the Picture Tube in
this 36 inch tube TV?

If I can dismantle my TV and carry the parts down 3 flights of stairs,
I don't have to pay movers to do it.

I know I have to unplug it for at least a week, clip the tube and take
a few other safety type precautions like wrapping the tube with a cover
so it does not explode, but I am wondering, after all this, will I be
able to carry it down by myself. I can move something that weighs a
100 pounds as long as I can get my arms around it. I am 5'10"

Troll? Maybe
My 34" HD TV weighs 185 pounds. Most is in the glass tube. What you
propose is idiotic to save a few bucks. If movers are coming anyway, it
would at $5 or $10 to the cost. If they drop it, they pay. If you drop
it, you cry.

120-200lb, but what you are thinking is dumb, the tube is 90% of the
weight. It wont be safer to move, it will be much less safe, but go
ahead.

That sort of thing is why I don't have a TV like that. What I have is
a screen and projector, nothing anywhere near that heavy.

Heck, just leave it for the next tenant and buy a new HDTV.
