Default Re: Which was the worst TV set / chassis you had to repair

Yesterday, I received a service call from a customer who asked me if I would like to take a look at an old TV set. He informed me over phone that was a flat screen set and warned me it was very heavy. I assumed the set would be a CRT model but in fact it turned out to be a twelve year old Hitachi plasma screen model. I rarely baulk at lifting TV sets, after all I've been doing it for almost sixty years but this one beat me. In order to test the set t took two of us to manoeuvre the big beast into position and take a picture of it..
The set works OK but is an analogue tuner model so it'll need a Freeview box to make it fully usable.
So to some up it's not the worst TV set but it is certainly one of the heaviest.
Heavier than a standard 3 X 2 foot paving stone?
