I wouldn't mind taking it apart (if I have to) to get rid of it. It's just that I'm not sure that would be easy, and I'm not sure how safe it is doing that. I don't want to get shocked by some capacitor or break some tube that has mercury or other hazardous material or gas in it. It's not like taking an old lawnmower apart.  |
If you left it off for 48hrs you shouldn't have any issues. You can always discharge whatever concerns you with a screwdriver (with rubber handle
). Likely the only actual tube is the CRT which you would have to take to a recycling center. The rest is all solid state stuff in multiple circuit boards. It's also fun, didn't you always want to see how it works!
I've cut up a couple of LCD TV's (biggest 42"). They easily can go into 1 bag.
I've always been good at breaking stuff. Just ask my wife!
