I read about this a long time ago. Someone tracked one down to a building in Japan. iirc the building had been a bar or something and the TV never moved. The cost to take it away was more than the owner was willing to spend so it ended up being built into a corner unused. The person managed to pay for the removal and remodeling efforts to lift it out.

Don't have to imagine. Hiring movers used to be a lot more common.

I bought a 36 inch JVC for $125 including a table to sit it on. It was made in 1990, ten years old when I bought it and it has outlasted two converter devices. It still works fine. Which is good, because it took me and a friend two hours to get it out f the car and int the living room. The clumsiest ting to move I have ever owned.

You could put your TV dinner in front of it for 15 minutes and it would be fully heated up.

Not that heavy but yes, I had a 30 or so inch sony trinitron with the wood panelling that weighed about a hundred pounds, needed help carrying it down the stairs.

My parents had a 36" CRT Sony. I helped them move twice. Luckily the second move the guy buying the house wanted the TV and threw an extra cash to leave it and my parents accepted. Took four of us to move the dang thing the first time.

I knew the Japanese were innovative but making crt televisions in a noodle shop is over-the-top even if it was only a few units.
