Got myself a new HV 'suction-cup' lead today, as well. I posted on the local Freecycle looking for 20" CRT TVs (preferably broken), and came home with one that looked like it had been buried for a while, and smelled like cats had been marking it. I clipped off the HV lead and took the rest of the set to the recycling center. I had to pay $5 for them to take it off my hands, but that new HV lead is worth that cost, to me (and now I don't have to worry about causing an environmental hazard). I noticed when I went there, though, that the recycling center had a pallet full of '90s CRT TVs out in the back, so it kind of makes me wonder if I couldn't have called them up and asked if I could go looking for parts. Oh well, at least I got a set recycled that might have originally ended up in the dump, though.
