The second son actually ended up throwing it away because the big picture died. The amount of ruckus that the first son then raised made me wonder how much the damn thing had cost.

Ah. TV-zilla. We had one of those. I think it was one of the last CRT's that Sony made.

BEAUTIFUL picture. Simply gorgeous. Just...moving the blasted thing was definitely a team-effort. I felt bad when we ultimately sold it. It would've been great to have in a guest room, or something. But, we upgraded to a 50-inch Sony model that we got at a great price and MonstroTV was sold off for about $400 about 3 years ago. I have no clue how much it retailed for when it first hit the shelves, but I can imagine that it definitely put a hurting on the wallet.
