First off, what is feed...Okay, let's see.... <br /><br />First off, what is feeding the gray coax cable in the bottom right hand corner of the pictures? Is that solely connected to your internal cable/antenna lines, or are you attempting to feed the DVD/VCR combo to the set via that cable?<br /><br />As to your flat screen dilemma. What kind of surround was on the front of that cabinet? It appears to have been removed. <br /><br />Ideally, what you want to do is get some nice oak or other hardwood and secure it in the opening. A piece of oak face sanded plywood could easily and inexpensively be stained and varnished to a similar color as the interior trim work.<br /><br />Get yourself an electrical box, outlet and face for 110 volt and cut an opening in that new face board and mount the box and outlet to it, using some 14 or 12 gauge romex, un cap the current outlet and remove it and wire nut your new box into the wires that originally fed that outlet.<br /><br />Simply get a cable face plate and drill a large enough hole for the cord to slide through, snug the existing cable to the screw on connection on the back of the new face plate and then install it on the front of the sheet of plywood. <br /><br />Now, using the tv bracket you chose for your set, use bolts and washers to secure it to the plywood board, install plywood and mount secure, then hang new larger TV and connect it to the electrical outlet and cable outlet you installed on the front panel we made.<br /><br />As to why the dvd/vcr isn't working, pictures of where its being hooked up would be needed to figure out the puzzle.Big Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11972364897169819241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809406582739580270.post-24302780389308443652011-03-13T17:03:16.638-05:002011-03-13T17:03:16.638-05:00To solve that TV problem, I'd puzzle on that h...To solve that TV problem, I'd puzzle on that hangover solution fer a while if I was you, which I ain't, case anyones a wonderin'. Maybe ya should try it out on yerownself afore that TV, which could put ya in the right frame of mind when you do tackle the TV. You might look at it different, you knowing yer own eliminations the best.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.rv-dreamers.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Me and Nilda's blog</a>I.M.
