Oh before everyone gets on us about the transformers and such... we always call them motors, because the scrap yard takes them as CBM (Copper Bearing Motors) This is one of the very first vids we every made for scrapping.

Thanks!
every = ever LMAO
I liked the one when he was scrapping a tv and found a spider and lit it on fire! I have done that a few times. Scares the hell out of my wife lol.
Ahh, but you CAN get shocked, even if power has been disconnected.
Ask Hoss about the time he tickled his pickle. Almost had a weenie roast.

Then I think you will be happy to know.. After we made this video we had a few people enlighten us about metal and now we to do collect everything =) Kenny was always so use to steel being around $0.02 a pound and at the time did not have a big enough vehicle for the steel. Now with it being right around $0.10 we do not let any bit of metal pass us bye!!!Quote:

This video is the reason I started collecting the t.v.'s. Always passed em by till I watched Kenny scrap one. ( Even tho Hoss got me a little gun shy of em now, lol) Very informative. Keep up the good work!
The only reason why we break the tube is because they are so heavy and Kenny back over twenty years ago remember hearing about a kid carrying one and falling on top of it. The tube then when right through him and killed him. If you do not break them, just be safe carrying it or resemble it where it is safer to carry.Quote:

Well alrighty then! That's what I like to hear! I once found a gallon ziploc bag full of change thrown in a Sears dumpster and when I saw this for the first time I instantly thought of that bag of change...just throwin' money away! But you're alright in my book now :)Quote:

The most poisonous spider is a long legged granddady, which I found supper funny. However, they say that their teeth are small they cannot penetrate skin, therefore no one believes them to have been a threat.
The most dangerous one around here right now, is a brown recluse (or however you might spell that). I have seen pictures and videos of the damage it can do, and it is NOT pretty!
Great Vid!
I have no headphones/speakers where I'm online, but I'll check later.
Can't believe you wear no gloves for all the glass and sharp "motherboard" parts.
A few weeks ago: I saw a TV on top of some cardboard in a construction dumpster.
I had just scrapped the internals from three for low price...thought about leaving it, then "well I'll just get it as quick as possible"...climbed up, beat the plastic back with a hammer (about TEN TIMES FASTER than unscrewing the stuff in your vid)
cut the cord, Knocked off the ring , grabbed the black cable, yanked it, swipped tip of my middle finger across MORE than razor sharp glass on back of tube...Looked down, blood gushing, grabbed a rag.
(Used to wearing leathe rgloves but like stated was "hurrying" due to low prices).
Wrapped it with duct-tape (normal "Bandage" stuff).
Blood started leaking through the seams. ...Stopped, took off the tape.
Re-Wrapped it with paper towel and a duct-tape carcophagus (sp.?)...kept bleeding out through the tape...
Pulled into "urgent-care" ...thinking," D*MN Now I'll get shots, stiches, brace and HOW THE HECK WILL I WORK with no right hand usage???URGGGHHH!!!!" ...then it quit bleeding out .
So I went to the $1 dollar store and bought some superglue!!! (Haha Seriously)...
Pasted some on, pressed it together, BINGO!
Each morning I put a little more , and some neosporin.
Healed GREAT! and not much scar either!!!
Anyway, a while back (like 20 years ago) a guy in an electronics class warned everyone about TV's having like a 40-50K V capacitor in the back (????) I've yet to see one(?) (really wondering though)
Well TV's are a good topic, scrap item since so many are switching to flatscrrens and it seems junk TV's are everywhere.
Thanks!
LMAO!!! Thanks for commenting!!! I have heard of the $1 super glue fix!! Never tried it though, Maybe next time Kenny cuts himself.. LOL I'm not to sure about the capacitor myself, now you have me wondering. Thanks for sharing your experience!Quote:

I have wondered about that too... Kenny says he is more concerned about falling on the tv tube so he breaks them off. Risk versus risk.... Kinda like scrapping light bulbs with the risk of mercury, right? Then again I'm still learning and love comments like these because that is how I learn.Quote:
