    I took one apart a month ago, there are 3 tubes each attached to an aluminum housing. There are some circuit boards, guessing low grade, and a bunch of wire. You will also get some steel framework. There is a large mirror, plastic and wood also. The bulk of the TV is just air, on the one I got the entire top section was empty, except for a large mirror. The tubs project the image to the mirror and the mirror directs it to the screen. I sold the mirror for $25 on Craigslist to a lady that makes crafts.




    When taking the tubes off of the aluminum housings, be careful, they are filled with oil and its easy to get it all over yourself. There is a drain screw to drain the oil out first.

    I would do another one if I had the chance, its fun to tear apart and quite a bit of goodies in there.


    As for moving it, get yourself a hand cart. Use it to get it to your truck and then use the tailgate as a pivot to lift it into the bed.

    was just about to scrap a projection tv that's been buried in the garage for a few weeks,
    took the top off, silly big thing that's completely empty, and on the steel plate there was that oil
    and I remembered I had to look up projection tv's, got a little on my finger, washed off and searched.
    ok, looks like i'm gonna live, good to know it's just coolant.

    Thanks for the tip about the drain plugs, i'll do that.

    I've passed up a few of these as I never seem to have room when I find 'em, this ones on wheels so easy to move around.



    it's a 100hz panasonic TX-43P250H
    I tried to scrap one of these out in the street once and was too hard to do, if I knew that the top is completely empty and it's just
    a few screws to remove, I would of had a few more, but now I know what to do, take off the tops, leave that and take the base only.
