Mounting a 65" TV to the wall

These are the four holes in the TV, not the plate's three screws that mount to wall bracket.
With those, there are three screws. One on top, and the bottom two are side to side adjustments.

I WAS talking about the TV, the top two bolts are the only two that keep it from peeling off the mount. The bottom two do very little if anything, other than keep the bracket located on the TV.

.. and as noted above a little JB plastic mender and the bolt lightly threaded in until it cures. Or haul it back... LOL

My sister bought a tv and when she got home and opened the box there was nothing in it but styrofoam and bricks.
 
I know a guy that worked at Home Depot for years

The stories he would tell on returns

yup bought a Thermos at the hardware store years ago that had a first name scratched into the side and had half full, mouldy coffee inside. Bought a very pricey ceiling fan that was missing the very important mount.
 
I removed it from the mount, and off the TV. All the threaded holes are fine on the TV, although differing thread depths... The bracket is threaded as well.
So I used 3/16 spacers that came with the mounting kit. All is GOOD! Whew! I dodged a major pita. I already called two local Walcracks; one showed 1 in stock, the other was out!
Here's the bracket I'm using.

Decent quality, but the drawings in the manual are F'ed up.
I took Drafting and Design back in HS for two years, and these don't look right to me. The angles are off.

Try to return the TV before attempting repairs....otherwise the store will say that the TV has been tampered with.

All of a sudden it becomes your word against theirs....and you will lose that argument.

Self-repair will be your last resort in this case. Hopefully the store sees you right and replaces it, without any quibble. :thumbsup:
 
When Submit & I got married in 1987, we bought a 19" Sony Trinitron for something like $900.00. How times have changed!

It APPEARED as though the hole was stripped because the screw bottomed out in the hole differently than the other three. I used spacers on all and problem solved.
The bracket was threaded too, so as I tightened, it kept turning in the threads on the bracket and was "pushing" TV away from bracket.

That's the best explanation I can do typing.
 
I was poor my aunt gave me a used TV. Trinitron in my dreams!
 
1987 - I was 19 and $900 for a tv was not in my plan, lol.
This Vizio pos, was $528. We'll see how long it lasts.
 
I just threw out my perfectly good RCA 26". Wife, Sister and I bought it one Friday night at a sale at Krazy Krazys in 1982... so we could watch Bugs Bunny in colour on Saturday morning...

Around ‘81 or ‘82 an outsider showed up in our little Arctic town. He had a large bread bag of magic mushrooms freshly picked and dried in B.C.
He didn’t know anyone local to sell them to, and worried about selling to a “narc” and going to jail. I bought the entire bag for I think $900, a fortune at the time. It was Friday.
By Sunday night I had sold the contents of the bag to my friends. We partied hard.
Monday morning I put my original $900 (the equivalent of $2300) back in the bank and bought a top of the line Sony Trinitron with the profits. An amazing T.V. For the time.
 
So that explains what the Chrysler engineers where on when they did
