Well, we finally upgraded to HDTV...

...whose primary purpose appears to be putting nature documentaries up on the screen for the fascination of the feline members of the household. (In other news, Cleo is wondering why no one is making gazelle-flavored kitty treats.)

We now have a spare entertainment center, free to a good home. It is large and black and heavy: specifically, 47” tall × 47½” wide × 17½” deep, with a 27¾” wide × 23” high bay for an old-style cathode ray tube, a 17¼” wide × 43” high bay for stereo components (with three adjustable shelves and optional glass door), a 6” high shelf above the TV bay, and a storage bay with opaque doors below the TV. I figured I’d list it here before trying out Freecycle.

Also, if anyone would like to try out an ancient 30-hour Series 1 TiVo with a lifetime membership on it, we have one available for getting people hooked on digital video recorders.

Can't help with the gazelle flavored cat treats, but would love to try the Tivo.

Excellent! Do you have a programmable remote at home? The TiVo’s current remote is getting somewhat flaky, but the box is still working quite well. (I bought lifetime service for the unit and I’m delighted to find someone still ready to benefit from a TiVo that has lasted 10 years.) You or Marshall could drop by any time to pick it up (manuals are still available online for it), or I could come over sometime to hook it up and give you a guided tour— I have vacation coming up and it should be easy to find time. (And I want to get All the Windwracked Stars to you as soon as I get my copy back from my friend Nicky...)

Would one likely be able to dismantle the entertainment center for easier transport? I forget the width of my station wagon's cargo area.

Should be possible; I’ll have a look at its construction when I get home.

Yeah, it looks like the hardware involves screws that should be potentially unscrewed.
