Country Roads and Dry Creek Beds - Page 2

Look very similar to a projection screen tv I had a couple months back. Heavy bugger and a true pain in the ass to lift into my van.

I am with mike on this one. a sledge, wire cutters, socket set and a few screw drivers and you are in business. Normally there are 4 or 5 big aluminum heat sinks inside plus the mid grade boards and wiring. the small yokes in it contain very small amounts of copper, still i would take them. also, watch how you take the lenses apart, they contain some type of oil. I do not know if it is hazardous or not, but it surely makes a mess.
I wish you the best of luck Bear.

Happy Scrapping

All low grade boards in those.. local guy scraps tvs.. just sells the copper, aluminum, glass... burns the plastic and other junk off( dont like the fact that he burns the plastic off but you cant tell a redneck anything)

It's not my problem now, it's in the counties hands, and their responsibility. If I went down there and touched it, then it would become mine, and in lieu of a knowledgeable way to dismantle it and remove what toxins are there, leaving the shell intact, I'll just have to pass, and let them take care of their own business

I just got done tearing one up, and once you figure out which screws do what on the base, then three little 'modules' will slide right out for leisurely stripping at home. And the brackets holding the big mirror in the top half were some pretty heavy duty aluminum... probably a pound apiece.

Knowing what I just learned, I could probably have one apart, stripped of all I'd take, and buttoned back up for easy trash haul-off in under 10 minutes. That said, I don't know if I'd haul one home again..... I have ho idea where I'm going to throw away the carcass. I'll strip them where I find them, and button them back up from now on.
