My CRT TV to Flat Screen TV Project
Ok, I had a 20 inch CRT TV in the bedroom I am changing over due to a power issue at Lazys Days Campground blew out both my TV's. My old CRV TV in the photo below was very large for a small screen and very heavy. It was held in this large box.
The Flat Screen TV I got is a 26 inch to fill the amount of room the width of the box is. I did not want to remove the old box due to molding being cut to accommodate it and I did want to be able to use the space behind the TV so I figured I would hinge the new TV.
Now I need to find a good source for some gas shocks to hold this thing in the open position. And I need a way to keep it closed going down the road. I have looked at several option but dont want it to be a pain to use.

I plan on doing the same with my front TV. I had a 24 inch and I have a 42 inch being delivered this week. I am having a hard time finding a piano hinge big enough to hold the 32 lbs TV and the wood I will mount it to.
