Moving an Avant

14 replies

Tomorrow I am collecting an Avant 28 VCR, which I will be using in the Bedroom. Do they come apart in any way? At the very least can I remove the stand? Also I am looking for the User Manual for it. Type number 8103, we do not seem to have it on the site. From the products page it is either a MK3 or MK4 50Hz.

No Craig, they don't come apart.

I transported mine in the back of my estate car laid on its back & held in situ with bungee cords to stop it rolling around - and then drove very conservatively🙂

There are hand holds at the rear (2 holes at the same height as the lower screen edge) and 2 "indentations" just under each side of the screen surround which give you the correct balance when moving it around.

The concensus seems to be on it's front but each to his own!

True Graham, which was my original plan but the layout of the back of my estate enabled me to strap the Avant in on its back and strap it to the pull out parcel shelf which lessened the chance of damaging the screen. I'm sure the best way would be to transport one stood on its base in a van and secured to the sides.

Hi Craig,

           Which dealer? I maybe able to collect it for you in the van theres room in the back for the avant, yourself and your bike😂

I'm in London in the morning but should be back late afternoon if you need me.

Never transport one on it's front! This puts unneccesary pressure on the middle portion between the base and screen. Also, the screen can crack - especially the RF models which have the plate glass frontage. If you're using an estate car drop the seats fully - i.e. pull the bottom half of the back seats up first before you fold the top half - this way you'll have a flat load bay, rather than a tilted one which may cause the set to tip either way whilst in transit.

hi craig,

If it is somewhere between here and london and you want me to pick it up for you, let me know before 9am so i can plan it into the journeys,

you can ring me uptil 11pm incase im not at the pc

If its and RF version, I took the glass off the TV and transported that seperately......

I laid mine screen down in the back of my A3 which was the dealers advice 

Drove mine over 200 miles, lots of duvets and pillows to protect it and didn't drive like an idiot...

Arrived home in perfect condition

Good luck and enjoy your purchase
