If someone else doesn't get to it first, I may be picking up this TV about 60 or 70 miles from where I live. Now, I've never transported a floor model TV, so I was hoping for some advice. Here's a picture of the set in question:
The plan is to pick it up while I'm bringing the pickup I'll be borrowing from my dad back to town before I move into my new apartment, and I'm pretty sure I'll have to transport the TV in the bed of the truck. So apart from wrapping it in a blanket or something, what's the best way to assure it arrives at my place intact? Should I try to keep it upright, or would I be alright laying it on its side? I'm hoping I won't need to remove the chassis for transport, but if I should, please tell me so! I haven't asked the seller what the model or chassis number is yet, so I don't really know anything about what's inside, but I love the look of the set so I told him I'd buy it if he still has it when I inquire again.
