If I get a particularly stubborn monitor/TV, it may take me 10 minutes from the time I crack it open to the time I'm setting the carcass out by my garbage.



I take the back off, pull the board, take the little board off the tube, pull the yoke assembly off, snip the degaussing cable, snip off the braided wire that is up towards the front of the tube, pull any speakers that may be in there, then screw the backside on. Set it by the garbage cans. 5-10 minutes per, and I'm not trying to win any races with 'em.
