Great Catch......

You'll know if you don't try. All it will cost is a little time and may pay BIG dividends. I would go for it.Quote:

You will get MUCH faster as you tear down the same thing over and over.Quote:

Agreed....I have been giving away Crt's as I have over 300 of them in various storage buildings but am tired of giving away money so I started this weekend on the huge project.....I am stripping the main parts and moving on to the next one......Wish me luck!Quote:

i pass on console tvs and big screens, done enough of them to know better, if i cant strip them on site then i just pass on it
The other day I found this to be the truth. I got like 64 Sat Boxes all on trip from a friend-of-a-friend who used to reasale them. It didn't take very long to realize that some have phillips, some have torx, some use nuts and the quickest way to do them was to first sort them out by brand name so that I could avoid changing my driver bits and socket sizes. Even with quick change bits it still takes time and without having to go back and forth, back and forth I got SUPER quick!Quote:
