So you got a truck full of TVs. You're stoked to break them all down & grab all those copper degaussing cables, and those beautiful yokes that slip right off the tube, and the miscellaneous other goodies inside a television.
But you start breaking them down & learn that many of the degaussing cables are aluminum. And many of the yokes are bonded to the tube & won't budge.
This may be a task too large to bite off, but that's never stopped me before.
But what I'm looking to do is to put together as all-inclusive of a list as I can, of all the TV makes & models out there, & what the degaussing cables & yokes are like. That way, if you're sitting at a curb debating about whether to grab that TV & its hard-to-get-rid-of CRT, you'll be able to refer to the guide & know what you're taking/passing up.
So, tonight's 4 TVs:
Total and absolute leverite, this TV. Aluminum degaussing cable, bonded yoke. GRRR The only thing worth grabbing on this pile of junk was the 3x4x1/2 brick aluminum heatsink. Cut the cord & leverite where you find it.
Not much better. The yoke wasn't bonded but the cable was aluminum. Worth grabbing if you're hungry, I guess.
Best TV of the bunch. Decent length & thickness cable & easy-free yoke.
Pencil-thin & short copper degaussing cable, bonded yoke. Leverite.
If you can take pics, post them along with the info above, and I'll build an excel spreadsheet listing all the manufacturers & models along with specs regarding the degaussing cables & whether or not the yokes are bonded. Any other data we need?
