    That's where I tore mine apart. When our TV went out last month, we bought a big-screen and I looked online to see how to scrap the old one. The one this guy has is the same as mine so I used Youtube as a guide as I went along. It was so heavy I really couldn't lift it to move it, so tore it apart on the living room floor. Then I had the glass tube left which is heavy, so I brought the tractor with forks to the front door, slid the tube to the door and out onto the forks so I could take it to my wood lot/scrap yard.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    I busted one open a while ago before I knew there was lead and phosphor in the tubes. I NEVER bust the tubes now. Anyway, I think its aluminum. I tossed it in the alum bin and the guys at the yard didn't say anything.

    If your talking about the ring clips around the neck and the long ribbon you can pull out the of bulb if you break it. Its stainless steel.
