    HP tube type monitor break down $

    since my busy life is so filled with thrills these days, I desided to qnswer the queation my self.

    later model HP monitor large:

    copper @ $3.00 ,bare #2 29, oz = $5.7345

    heat sinks ALU 9 oz @ .71 = .399

    copper #2 ins 3 oz @ $1.25 + .08

    ALU sheet @ .55 3 oz = .10



    Brass @ $2.25 1 oz = .14

    sheet copper 1 g

    light steel @.10 = .50

    total $$6.6565

    this price is based on breaking down all copper to bare #2

    hey easy howd ya say that monitor thingie worked ?

    That sounds about right buddy. I break down monitors and tv's for most of my income. I get between $4-$13 a monitor.

    I didnt know that their was brass in monitors. Granted doesnt look like their was a whole lot, what the heck is brass in a monitor?

    I could be mistaken, I think the screws that secure the glass to the front panel of the plastic housing, aren't they brass also, at least in some cases?


    Also the sheet copper, is that the thin small copper tabs, attached to the Alum. Sheet? And do you sell that with your #2 copper or does it get priced different?
