Re: Tosh RPTV



Hi Doogie,

If only you could have seen the things I tried!!

Yes, at the moment, it is just balanced there and secured by nothing more
than the force of gravity. It is my ultimate intention to "sling"
the centre
speaker just behind the top edge of the screen, - as you know there is
quite
a steeply raked plastic cover on the back, and not really anywhere to get a
convenient fixing. I have fixed 4 small screw-in eyes into the speaker (the
type used for holding up net curtains), to which I have attached lengths of
small-gauge, but sufficiently strong chain I plan to hopefully also fix a
couple of these small eyes into the rear edge of the cabinet and fix the
chain to it such that the speaker sits on the back cover of the set,
(therefore the speaker will be firing up at a 45-degree angle)

However, in the light of the possibility of wanting to sell the set in 6-8
months, I think I'll hold off on that plan for now... although the holes
produced by the eyes are tiny, it would still mean that I could no longer
describe it accurately as being in perfect factory condition...

Paul G.
