Default How Do I Move a Large, Heavy Old Television Set?
I have a large, heavy color television set in my living room that I need to get rid of. According to the Owner's Manual, it weighs 185 pounds. Although it still works great, I have bought a new Smart TV that I want to hook up, but first I need to get rid of the old TV.

Any advice on how to get rid of it without killing myself or ruining my back? If I were younger, I'd just get a friend or two and carry it out of the house, but now my friends are getting old too and don't want to mess with carrying heavy stuff.

I have a 4-wheel dolly, but it is only about 6" high and the TV is sitting on an entertainment center about 25" off the floor. I have no way of safely getting the TV off the entertainment center and onto the dolly.

Anyone have any suggestions or advice? I live south of The Villages. Thanks.
