Bob,
If you feel all else has failed and you cannot bring the set back to life. I guess recycling the cabinet as a housing for a color set is ok. Not my first choice but better then nothing. Perhaps someone can use the old chassis and pix. tube. If the chassis is separate from the pix tube remove it first along with any thing else that might get in the way, (tuner, speaker ect.) Lay the cabinet face down on a blanket to remove pix. tube. You will at least have gravity on your side as you loosen retaining brackets.
Remove any neck componets to ease lifting. Do not handle the tube soley by the neck. Beaware of residual high voltage. WEAR GLOVES & SAFETY GLASSES! And
have a spot picked out in advance to place the pix tube on. Watch your back as some of these tubes are heavier then you think. If the chassis and pix tube are one unit, leave set up right and lossen all connections, bolts and brackets and slide out. This will be very heavy. Use the same precatuions. Good luck.
