Hi i'm trying to get rid of three picture tubes from a projection tv
Thanks
ps I am also open to creative ideas
A.H.W.
I live in Utah

 

Projection TVs don't have "picture tubes". Do you mean the expensive halogen bulbs? E-bay

 

I just checked the repare manual and it says they are CRT's
Thanks

 

My bad. You are of course correct. I didn't realize that technology had ever been used.

Anyway, it'll be tough to find a buyer I think. Every day on Craigslist I see projection TVs on curb alert – free at the road if you get there before the trash truck.

 

I got it for free off craigslist

 

My town has twice a year collection of all sort of trash that can't be put in the trash, including devices with freon. It will also pick up old CRT TV's at the curb once a month. I presume your town doesn't offer either. Have you checked? While checking, ask where it can be disposed.

OK
Thanks

 

Somebody played a joke on you.
You got it for free on Craig's List...now you have to find someplace to dump it instead of them.

I like it. I have so much junk here that needs a Dumpster!

 

I read a funny (perhaps urban legend) story is about someone who placed a piece of furniture at the curb with the sign "Free" but no one took it, even after several days.
Then he changed the sign to ("$20") and it disappeared within a day.

I have heard a similar story told about used shipping pallets...

Brilliant. I've got a few items I need to re-price right now.

The older ones do - they're about 2" diameter and run off outrageously high EHT.

They're usually small diameter and round, so you could push them into a soft earth embankment and shuffle away whistling.

That was before they had LCD or Micromirror devices to make either front or rear TV projectors, thus they used lenses to collect and focus the light from small, high-brightness, Red, Blue, and Green phosphor CRTs unto the screen.

They'd love my basement!

 

The reason I got the tv was for the screen one piece of the screen is a fensal lens which is basically a magnifying glass (or plastic) so for FREE I got a 5foot x 3foot magnifying glass.
That is why I got the tv

Take it back to where you got it and leave it on the curb.

What part of; "the older ones" did you not understand?

Disposing of them legally might be expensive - projection CRTs use *VERY* high EHT, which means more X-rays, and more lead in the glass.
