Mine is an 05 and the TV was held in by 2 plate stops at the front and a strap at the back. You will have to remove the wood frame at the front of the box and the cover at the back of the tv box. Once the plate and the strap are removed the TV will slide out. The old CRT TV's are heavy so make sure you have help.
I replaced mine with a 32" LED TV. The box is 3/4" plywood, so I cut a couple of pieces of 2 x 4 and screwed them between the steel supports on the right side of the box. Bought a swivel TV support and attached it to the 2 x 4's.
When I put the frame back on there was a gap at the top. I had a piece of laminate flooring left over so I cut that up, screwed it to the frame and and used it to fill in the gap.
We now use the empty space for storage.
