How To Scrap A TV Video

Looks like you could do the same thing with him and end up with some silver and maybe gold.

I cant imagine being so poor that I had to resort to this. I think I would rather steal newspaper machines and break the coin boxes open.

I really shouldn't talk as I sent many tvs to recycling while cleaning out a shop.

Electric motors....wadf

It's what they call tax free income. Isn't it funny that he has money for all that useless jewelry he has on. Probably mooching off the tax payers on some kind of disability.

Wow, I can't see how all that effort makes any sense. gotta love the factual sounding commentary, (motor comment is nice). I wonder if any of the wallymart crowd "up grading" to flats are going to want there old BPC back when that flat goes belly up. I was looking at some the other day, I swear they give me a headache if there is any movement on the screen. Seems jarring to me, I think it has to do with how my eyes have been trained to view moving images in 2D, Something about the flats just does not seem natural to me. I guess it could be they are just too sharp, but I honestly think its something else, again the movement gets to me.

I've scrapped dead tube VGA monitors, but I was after the high voltage caps and power resistors and the damper diodes make for good high voltage rectifier diodes in tube hifi audio amps. The bridge rectifiers for their switching power supplies were nice too. And lots of heat sinks. And inductors for higher frequency work. So now I have a pretty well supplied "junk box" of parts. usually it was the horizontal output transistor and flyback that failed to cause the monitor to be junked, but most of the rest of the parts were still fine. But it took me a lot longer to tear down a "chassis" than the guy in the video.

I would like to see her capture a freshly charged CRT anode in the tear down process.

Flat panel TV's have crappy pictures with distortion that makes pics look out of focus and image sizing that is usually wrong. The success of these crappy TV's proves most people are kinda slow at the very least. I just had to say it. I get sooo very irratated when some dumdum friend of mine wants to "show-off" thier new piece of crap.

You took the words right out of my mouth.
