Pick of the day 6 Road Mart TVs and 3 computer monitors. I removed all the circuit boards from 5 TVs and 3 monitors yesterday after lunch. The monitors have better parts than the TVs. It only takes about 15 minutes to remove the circuit boards and place the trash on the street for city pick up today. This time I am being very selective, I'm only looking for mosfets, voltage regulators, power resistors, large capacitors, variable resistors, heat sinks, chokes, transformers. The small resistors are staying on the boards this time if I need one I will remove it when it is needed. The best source of parts are the small PC boards that plug onto the end of the picture tubes they have several power resistors, mosfets and voltage regulators. I have a good size box of hook up wire too. TV #6 is small 24" and it works, I will use it for the home security monitor. The oldest TV is dated 1986 it had the best parts of all.
The recycle truck that picks up organic stuff came by early about 7 am. The recycle truck that picks up wood and furniture is picking up on out street now. The recycle truck that pics up TVs, used paint, use oil, chemical, etc will pick up after lunch.
I found 3 more TVs in the street today but I dont not pick them up. I think I have enough parts. Next time I need a part and dont have it then I will be wishing I had picked up more TVs. I would much rather pull a used part form a storage box than wait a week for a new part to arrive in the mail.
