Be careful with tearing down electronics. Although electronics are an awesome source of many goodies, it is also ILLEGAL to tear down electronics in some states. I live in South Carolina and it is illegal here. Although I still tear them down. Just wanted you to check your local laws. As far as CRT type TV's are concerned, the major draw back is what you will do with the left over CRT Tube ( Glass that makes up the TV screen ). If you bust the tube open you have just created Hazardous Waste. I gladly tear down TV's but only because there are little to ZERO jobs in my area and I must eat.
Just wanted to let you know about the possibility of illegal actions and of the potential for legal liabilities for busting open a CRT Tube. Otherwise, I wish you the very best in the E-Cycling Industry. Happy Scrapping. PEACE!
