    Probably not much of value in there. No yoke or degaussing cables. Might be a decent board if your into Escrap. you could always check inside it for obviously burnt components and may be able to replace a small cheap part and get it working right again.

    If it is a tube TV then take it, strip out the yoke,degaussing cable and any other metals and then bring the carcass back to the dump!
