- How to get FREE project parts like speakers, wires, components and so much more from a TV. In this video I walk you through how to take apart a Sony 24 inch CRT TV, provide some important safety comments (see more info below) and point out some of the key items that I like to salvage for future projects. If you like DIY, recycling stuff, re-purposing materials or merely like to take things apart, then this video is for you. There are plenty of free materials to be had from old, broken or unused electronics and with a little caution and effort you can get a good haul of loot to use. In a prior video I walked through the deconstruction of a JVC TV which was older and much more worse for wear (i.e. it was extremely dirty inside and out). That video can be found in the following link:

In this TV tear down the items I salvaged include the following:
Capacitors
Copper
Copper Yoke
Degaussing Coil
Diodes
Flyback Transformer (Warning: can hold a potentially lethal charge for a long time)
Fuse
Hardware (screws, washers, nuts, etc)
Heat Sink
IR Receiver
LED
Potentiometers
Power Cord
Power Transistor
Push Buttons
Resistors
Speakers
Springs
Switch
Transformer
Transistor
Variable Inductor
Wires
Wire Retainers
These CRT TVs are pretty cool. The electron gun (the part sticking up from the back of the picture tube) creates a stream of electrons that flow through the tube. Coils of wires operate as electromagnets to guide the beam to the precise points on the screen which is coated with phosphors. When the electron beam hits the phosphors they fluoresce and create the image you see. All of this requires a well controlled internal environment including a glass "tube" full of lead, phosphors and more which is under a significant vacuum pressure. If you are not careful, then you could cause the tube to implode which could be quite dangerous. Remember to recycle responsibly especially for the electronic components and the TV tube itself. I take all left over electronic parts and TV tubes to a local electronic salvage company that takes everything free of charge.
Taking things apart (or deconstructing items) not only gets you great free materials for projects but also helps you learn about how things work. In my series of "What's Inside" videos I typically show how I take things apart, how some of the parts work, options for fixing some items and sometimes I just tear things down to get to the good parts so I can upcycle or repurpose the original item. It's allot of fun!
WARNING: working on electronics carries certain risks. If you deconstruct a TV, then you are doing so at your own risk. While I mention some safety considerations in the video you really need to do your own research to ensure that you are fully informed and comfortable with what you are doing. Choose the safety techniques that work best for you. If you have never worked with electronics or dismantled electronic items before, then a TV is not a good first project. Start smaller and build knowledge and confidence so that you know how to remain safe!
Thanks, great video!!! I want to salvage my Sylvania 27inch CRT DTV and use some of the parts for a crystal radio project, i.e. copper wiring. What type of soldering pen or gun would you recommend to remove electronic parts, wattage and type plus any accessories needed such as heat sink??
I have at least a million TV part labeled and n put in bags older stuff I need to get rid of it if your interested please let me know
Still available? I've been into electronics recycling and precious metals recovery for some time now, and my boys and I would gladly take anything like that off your hands
Thanks a lot for this video what component we can benefit from old Pc board for old TV good work
Thank you very much. I really appreciate the kind words and you taking the time to post a comment! [So sorry for the delay... life kinda got in the way for a bit]
What recycling shop is taking CRT's for free? Best Buy and other places here in Lincoln Nebraska require a payment of $25 to $35.
It is interesting that some places still charge to take old electronics because recycling companies typically make money from the things we "donate" to them... even CRTs. I have found many ways to recycle CRTs for free: a local mall runs free electronic waste collections at least twice a year, the county has several hazardous waste disposal locations that will take CRTs free on specific days of the week, I have seen ads for a high school running free electronic waste collection programs, my company also does this a couple times a year and there are facilities that are listed on line that will take just about everything (I usually call first for anything a bit different or large). You can check into those or I also found a national website that lists locations - NCER, National Center for Electronics Recycling (it is a 501(c)(3) non-profit org.) Hopefully one of these can work for you too!
I have old Sony Trinitron .....what can I salvage from it?
Exact options depend upon the model but you can usually get speakers, LEDs, coils/wires (copper), transformer, tuner, and the other stuff I show in my TV videos are typically found in your tube style televisions. That also includes all of the individual pieces on the boards like resistors, capacitors, pots, etc.
can i use tv speakers in a car radio ?
Yes, you could.
WOOOOOOOWWWWW NICE SPEAKER
How do you discharge the components?
I carefully short the contacts making sure that I am shielded. Many people use a rubber handled screwdriver to touch to both contact points for capacitors.
I wish that i would have a spare tv like that :D keep up the good work
I actually get a bunch of stuff "donated" to me for this purpose (a friend, J.C., gave me this TV). I started telling people about how I reuse old electronics and I found that people offer me their old & broken stuff. When its something like a TV, they aren't sure how to recycle it and its easier to give it to me. I salvage what I want from the item and recycle the rest.
cool!
Btw what software do you use on ur videos?
Thanks for the comments and feedback. I use CyberLink PowerDirector for video editing and I have been quite pleased with the capabilities.
ok is it free? im too lazy to check :D
Unfortunately CyberLink is not free... I wish though!,
ok how much is it???
sadistic_sock Depends upon which version you choose but the range is $59.99 - $169.99 (current prices via Google search)
