Yesterday, I broke down my first two CRTs. Needless to say, I ended up with a good bit of copper, aluminum, and steel scrap. However, There were some other metal parts that I couldn't quite identify. They appear to be some type of cast alloy, and they do contain some iron (my magnet was very attracted to it). I'm wanting to say that it is cast iron, but I've never seen cast iron that is so dark in color. Two were attached to the plastic framework that held the copper around the CRT tube, and the rest were scattered throughout the monitor with wiring looped through them. I'd attach a photo, but I'm having difficulty finding out exactly how to do that on this forum.



Can anybody fill me in on exactly what I have here?
