    Just good scrap

    TV or c r t and related equipment.
    With all the talk I almost bit and when showing pics I get cyber hit ....we don't buy TV or those c r t stuff.
    I'm like ok. Ok?
    Then I finally say ok first one .I open and the body top bottom and guts aluminum wow. The boards look high grade telecom. The screen wrapped or back covered. Few tiny screws and more high grade hidden. Wire and little steel. Pic's of gutted later.
    Just 2 other products to open. To investigate the guts lol.

    You seem like a nice guy, and I don't want to be rude or offend you, but your posts are really hard to follow. I have no idea what you are talking about. I would love to know what those are and see what is inside.

    I love the idea of sharing, but if we can't decipher the information, it does no good.

    No, it's really not. I agree it's incredibly hard to follow what you write and to figure out when you are being serious. I think you are probably writing how you speak in person, but it just doesn't make any sense without context or translation. Not trying to pick a fight, just being honest...

    Did you test them to see if they worked before tearing into them? If they did you may have destroyed some profit.

    Recently I was given a LCD TV that the screen was broken when it was moved. I took photos of it with it on and the broken screen still working. I used those photos in my ad to sell the internal boards to show the TV was working before I removed the boards. All the parts sold. So take your time and don't forget that reselling normally makes more money that scraping. Mike.

    You would be supprised what powerboards and other parts sell for from flat screens. I tried replacing a cap in my personal flatscreen when it died on me but must have gone wrong with the sodering as it still didnt work. So I looked into replacing the entire powerboard and found that they were selling for around $35-$75 used. I decided to pull the powerboards out of the ones I had in stock and resell them so that I could pay to replace mine . Now I pull all powerboards before recyling them.

    you see that long strip at the top that's ribboned to the screen.. nice gold strip there.... I take those and box them up when I have enough hopefully would go good on ebay.. question is should I take a nice sheer and cut that strip and save the board for e wasted or leave as is.

    Based on the pictures I'm guessing these are teleprompter screens. About a year ago I acquired a load of these from a local college. Better than a typical LCD monitor, but not by much. Two extra mid-grade boards/per. still a lot of junk to get rid of affiliated with each unit. The control server would be where the real money is. Just my opinion.
