crap i forgot to add what is the black copper covered in electrical tape called that goes around the tv?
Tap it with a hammer to knock it loose.
That's a degaussing cable.

The yoke will come off with a little gentle persuasion. And the other thing is called a degaussing cable/wire. Most usually copper but sometimes copper coated alum. wire. Just scratch it to be sure. And the little braided silver colored wire with the springs is copper also.

thanks so the tube wont bust and i wont get sucked into the tv? what happens if the tube breaks?
I'm thinking this is an accident waiting to happen!!!

I would just try And pry it off with a flat head. If you break the tube it will release the gas I would not try hitting of.

gas? oh thats not good i dont wanna release any gas its prolly worse than freon but i dont worry bout that much cause i no to cut the small tube to let the pressure out and then cut the tube from the freon tank or watever gas they use in window ac's. i dont think i wanna get gased lol. how much does a yoke from a medium to big tv typically weigh? its a 30 something i think not sure.

TV tubes are vacuum tubes with no air or gas in them. So don't worry about letting anything out. The only toxic material is lead in the glass.

if the yoke is stuck on try twisting it. thats how I get them off.

And thank you for polluting our atmosphere,,,i no to cut the small tube to let the pressure out and then cut the tube from the freon tank or watever gas they use in window ac's.
WRONGThe only toxic material is lead in the glass.
Thank you, Wiki,,,Phosphors are often transition metal compounds or rare earth compounds of various types. The most common uses of phosphors are in CRT displays and fluorescent lights. CRT phosphors were standardized beginning around World War II and designated by the letter "P" followed by a number.
Phosphorus, the chemical element named for its light-emitting behavior, emits light due to chemiluminescence, not phosphorescence.[1]

it mite break the tube if i twist this one its not like the rest most of the ones i took apart had this idk what its called it looks like a c and you unscrew the screw thats in it and pull it off and then wiggle the yoke off. but this one didnt have this c and screw thing. there was a label instead that said do not try and remove the permanently bonded yoke.Originally Posted by PartTimeScrapper

did you know that the "c and screw thing" is made of stainless steel. Sometimes the screw itself isn't, but most of the time it is.....so put them in your stainless steel bucket.

Im pretty sure im going to get some heat for this, but here goes. LIGHTLY tap the glass around the yoke with a hammer, grab the yoke, and twist. You will most likely pull a big chunk of glass out wirh the yoke, and leave a gaping hole in the tube. Be careful busting it up for the copper if glass is still attatched to it.
You seem scared about it. If your too freaked out/unsure, walk away. Not being confident will get you hurt, and gwtting hurt isnt worth 50 cents in copper. Just saying.
AND do NOT cut freon lines until they have been pumped by a pro. Again, if you cant do it, walk away. Getting sprayed with freon sucks (trust me i kno) and again...its NOT worth the 50 cents in copper.

This dude needs to read this forum more, all his questions have been answered so many times before. Always looking for the easy answer, if they cant do the work and search for their questions first, what makes you think they will do the work and strip items properly and safely. Sorry for being mean or blunt but people like this scare the hell out of me and Im not here to hold anybodies hand.

It's glued to the tube. No amount of twisting or prying will get it off. It's aluminum anyways. Every yoke thats glued to the tube is aluminum, just leave it where its at.
Interesting. Was not aware of that. One of the TV's you gave me had a big tin cover under the boards/yoke that I had to unbolt to get the degaussing cable. Had not seen one like it till then.
Drug home a big screen TV the other night. Saw it had posted to CL around 4pm. Saw it around midnight. Figured it was gone but decided I'd go for a drive since it was in Nampa. Pull it up on the GPS, and away I go.
I rolled up and it was still there. Bigger than it looked in the pic...I measure the lumber rack, then I measure the TV. Okay. If I lay it on its side I can squeeze under with an inch to spare.
Boy was it heavy. A boat anchor made in 1983. Get it home, plugged it in. Gets a picture, but it's fuzzy/faded. Onward to my first big screen tear down!

Big screens are fun, and easy. BE CAREFUL with the optic crap. Just, when you tear it down, make sure yer in the dirt or something. Since this is yer first one, you'll be unscrewin' everything. You will eventually drain the optic oil, and that chit dont evaporate for nothin. Not bad for ya, that i know, just gets everywhere and is annoying.
I've ran into those before. On the big tv's, you never know what you'll run into. It's like the people who make them get bored, and just throw random crap in there. It all adds up in the tin pile.
