HD CRT set disposal

[centralradio]

I have a Insignia set here about the same size mentioned I found at the curb last year and it works great after I fixed a sticky on-off switch. The trendies are known to dump all the older stuff and move on to whats current.Nevermind the MSM pollutes peoples minds on saying digital is better then whats old.They also fuss about the lead in the CRTs.

It would be nice to see a console with the same size CRT in it.Probably need a forklift to move it around.

On airing a tube .I just break off the tip on the neck with a hammer.I'm not in the mood to pick up glass off the floor.I have not dump any CRT since they are getting scarce .

+1 - the RCA method - RCA used pliers to snap off the tip. They taught that disposal method at all TV training seminars. It provided slower intake of air (hiss for 3-10 seconds....) and a stress relief on the bell. No implosion, no glass everywhere.....
