    Yeah that plated copper aint worth it. I took that braid off 500 TV's/monitors, then snipped all the little **** metal bits off. Turned it in, less than 5 pounds of copper. Not worth it one bit. Spent hundreds of hours cutting those little tin crimps off. I leave them on now. Simply isnt worth it.



    Appreciate the thoughts. Should be a simple surgery. But last time he went in (over a year ago) for the same kind of surgery, his heart stopped twice. So we're hopin' for the best.

    I dont want to get too much into how much i pay to dispose of the tubes. Just say a truck/trailer load costs around $20.
