Yeah, great buy for £500, and no, it can`t be removed from it`s "base"
That is, if by base, you mean the lower two to three vertical feet of the set.

This is actually the housing for the CRT projection system, and is part of the actual TV body.
(it should stand around 4 1/2 foot high from the floor...thats one piece)

Still has the usual RPTV probs like screenburn and convergence, but for £500 it`s a good buy.
