Would have weighed a ton. Barely any plastic, solid wood through out. Electrical components that weren’t miniaturized yet.
Stuff was HEAVY back then. More than you’d think.

Used the total power of a modern household, but you could FIX it! Dad and I took a few trips to the grocery store to test and buy new tubes. If dad couldn’t hack it, call the repair guy. Imagine it being cheaper to have a man come to your house a few times than to buy a new TV.

The console TV in the meme would have needed 2 big ass, grown men to carry it down at most 3 steps, or just level ground floor no more than 75 feet.

Elvis had to be wary of ricochets from shooting at these TVs.
