Jack the CRT Ripper

[Electronic M]

I guess you can call me jack then...Seeing as how I tend to take all but the CRT and cabinet from any curbed SS non-deltagun sets I find. I do pull pins out of the base/cut the evacuation nipple on the neck with pliers letting the air in to prevent implosion, but I tend to try not to break the CRT glass (in any major way) and bolt the back on when I'm done.

I do this as I can get loads of good parts for repairing tube sets and building projects for free. CRT sets here are often 0.50$ a piece at thrifts and often sit until the thrifts trash them anyway so it's not like folks out here are not already scrapping them by the ton.

There are some sets I pardon/save, but not that many of them show up at the curb.

I generally hate the copper scrappers as they see no distinction between say a roundy that is worth more than the copper it contains and 90's BPC set, and they generally lack respect for others' property. I'd like to think I'm different from them as I only kill sets that are truly worthless and try to be neat about what I do.
