Crt Tvs? - Page 2

Where I am I can sell whole crt tvs and monitors for 0.12/lb to a local yard.

I hate you tackleberry ! jk

haha thanks Dee. I was really surprised myself. I drove by a lot of crts before I found this buyer.

He said in the video the speakers wern't worth anything.. to him..
I have like 12 of them and didnt know what to sort them as, or if scrap yards will even take them...
Just dont wanna toss anything yet till i know its no good =)

Separate the speaker from its holder thing and casing and put it in a magnet bucket. Scrap yard by me pays $1 per LB as it is AlNiCo.

My best buy charges $10 a tube for them to recycle it.

Depends on the size of the degaussing coil. And, whether the degaussing coil is copper or aluminum. The size of the yoke is also a factor but it is usually directly proportional to the size of the CRT.

Since the back of the television is open, the circuit board is removed, and the speakers are just staring at you, why wouldn't anyone just go ahead harvest them? I think Jack the Scrapper must have just finished rolling naked in his bare bright so he wasn't thinking straight.

Ok. Now you've got me interested. Been throwing these in with shred. I get a lot of speakers. Need another bucket I see.

I wonder how strong of a magnetic field a bucket of magnets would have. I have visions of the magnet bucket being stuck to the floor of my mini van. LOL

Great thread, read this article on some more tips on scrapping crt monitors and televisions. The copper price is high right now and these things are full of it.

OHH, what if ya attach a giant magnet to your bumper and see what goodies ya pick up when driving around!!

mdot has big magnets they hang from their bumpers and ride down the side of the interstate . weird thing is they hang them from the front bumper so it stands up every nail that it does not pickup, when they would come into the tire shop they would have lots of nails in each tire. we would usally sell them a pair of tires every week. they always bought new instead of used, gov. at work.
