I scrap out many TVs. I get the copper coil on the neck of the tube, the big tapped copper wire going around the tube, all wiring and I even cut the metal band off from around the main part of the tube that is used to secure it to the TV frame.
I have opened them up before ( very messy, won't do that again ) and the only thing left is a sheet metal thing and the stainless steel in the tip. Not worth the mess.
Just today someone picked up about 8 picture tubes I had set out to the trash.
Either I am missing something or I have some real dumb a** scrapers around here.
