    Their are no gasses inside. How many threads do we have on this? And yes, it's a vacuum. But their is no such thing as "vacuumoniom" gas. It's not a gas. You break the tube, it sucks IN. Their is a phosphorous coating on the "screen" of the tube, and the glass is leaded. But dang, their is no gas.

    Hoss, After I posted this I did see a few other sections referring to Rear Projectors. Sorry to create another post.
    Sirscrapalot, Unfortunately it wasn't a DLP.

    This was my first Rear Projection I have ever taken apart. Was quite simple to be honest after I read your guys responses. I forgot that the tube had the clamp on it that once released you can just turn the yoke and voila. You have your copper piece.

    Here is the amount of copper that I got off this RP minus the CBM's that obviously I'm not going to try and take off.
    The smaller pile is #1 Copper as it came from some concealed pieces off the circuit boards.
    Along with this I also managed to get 8 decent size of heat sinks.



    Have a great night guys.

    Maybe I should have ended that post with </joking>?
