    Oops thanks for telling me that! I will quit breaking them, there is a scrap yard that pays low but they take ANY scrap in their light iron load including glass. I will toss a few here and there in my large light iron loads haha they don't seem to complain and I will try not to break them when doing so hoping they dispose of them properly. The landfill might not be aware its leaded glass as I was not either...also the landfill is technically closed it's a collection center now and is sorted and shipped off in different directions we do not dump into the ground here anymore but rather into dumpsters (including the broken leaded glass).

    I will certainly hold onto my LCD screens I do not even think they are glass but I can deff see a potential future market even cracked or broken.

    Here is the HD projection TV I tore down today:



    The projectors are the only small tubes in these things luckily and can easily go with my light iron, but I did not realize between the tube and lens is filled with what appears to be some sort of odorless clear oil? Maybe mineral oil? I dumped it into the waste oil collector that the guy down the road heats his shop with:





    These are the three boards I got out of the TV, appears to be two low grade boards and I think the one on the left is considered a higher grade board?



    This is a close up of what I think is a higher grade board then the others is this correct? Same grade as computer motherboards?
