Remove stand on a Sony KV-35V75 television

I found you must remove the back of the TV set using phillips screws located around the edges, all have arrows pointing to the screws. Be careful because you are going to expose the inner workings of the TV set. For me, this was not a problem because I sinply wanted to salvage the pedestal itself.

After removing the back of the set, it will become apparent there are four torques head lag bolts holding the base of the TV into the pedestal. Remove these and you are finished (except if you have to put the TV back together).

I have not known of any Sony tube TV thay was attached to the stand in any way with exception of they had a cloth strap in the center in the back at the bottom of the TV that buckled into a pocket on the back of the TV, but nothing in the front, usually the TV just lifted straight up or slid back about 3 inches then lifted up, that is all I remember on that other than the TV is very heavy and maybe it is just stuck from being on the stand for a long time. Good luck!
