Interesting to me that it seems to take longer to digest those Mac monitors than it does those TV sets. I wonder what model televisions they are? I'm guessing last-gasp Zenith 25" table models from the mid-80s. Doesn't seem to be much of a chassis to them. Scary, since they resemble a much older set. Those particle board cabinets just dissappear!

Looked like a Hitachi console with removable base, and as you said, a 90s Zenith. At first glance from the back, the Hitachi looked like a CTC-7! Luckily not.

Maybe it makes me a wuss, but I don't like seeing stuff smashed, even if it's worthless junk.
