For Pete's sake, don't do it. I wouldn't do it unless I were the kind of person who enjoys the heck out of taking chances with anything (I most certainly am not, especially since I am very unsteady on my feet, no thanks to a bad fall I had several years ago), especially a dangerous task such as this.

It would be very difficult to carry a TV of this size and weight up five flights of stairs. It would take at least, and I emphasize at least, two extremely strong men to do it successfully. Otherwise, the only other way to do this, that I can think of anyway, would be to take the chassis, tuners, and speakers, not to mention the CRT, out of the cabinet and carry each component up those stairs individually, installing them in the cabinet one piece at a time. Be certain, of course, the CRT isn't dropped, or else you would have one heck of a mess on your hands. I also thought of using the building's elevator to assist with the task of getting the set to the fifth floor, although this would be extremely risky because of the weight of the TV. That, plus the weight of the person/people transporting the set, could very, very easily snap the elevator cable, causing the elevator to crash down the shaft to the basement immediately. This would result, again, in one heck of a mess, not to mention injury to the person/people attempting the project.
