The largest CRT that was is hitachi 40" TV.
I've got a Ferguson 34" 4:3 TV. No idea who made the tube but it's a
monster.
I used to work in a TV shop, and when I moved into a new flat my
now-ex-girlfriend (not because of the TV!) asked if I couldn't somehow
get a good deal on a TV. So I asked, and my boss said "Yes I'll let you
have this trade-in one nice and cheaply, you'll probably want the van
for this though" - Ok, why? - "Well you've got to pick it up from the
guy's house and deliver this new one". Fortunately her band were round
rehearsing so the drummer (not a small chap) and I (not a small chap
either) lugged this behemoth of a set into the house.
It has a slight EW correction fault, but barring getting a Hiab to lift
the bloody thing I'm not exactly keen to haul it through to the bench.
