THIS is What they are not telling you. The truth is that Recycling leaded crt glass is almost impossible. Years ago, a company called closed loop recycling and refining abandoned over 300 million pounds of crt glass. This company took in millions of pounds of crt glass from other recycling companies, while promising a new highly efficient process of recovering the lead from the glass. Typically, recycling crt glass is an extremely inefficient process that requires lots of energy for the smelting process which would leave companies operating at a loss. When closed loop went bankrupt due to the fact this new prosses was just a scheme, they left 4 massive warehouses, and large outdoor stockpiles of crt glass abandoned, resulting in massive lawsuits and a 5 yearlong multi-million-dollar cleanup. All this crt glass that was promised to be recycled, but ended up causing environmental damage, and ultimately buried in a landfill.

@@kaulchan2263 Recycling crt glass is an extremely inefficient process that requires lots of energy for the smelting process.

collecting crt's is very common, assuming it works or can be repaired, i dont collect them but i am for saving them, because once gone, they are gone. i have some 8 bit computers, 3 of them have their correct monitor, one computer has it built in and a couple others can use a tv, one has a tv but i want a more period correct one and i dont have one for the other yet, i also have a crt for my atari 2600 and nes.
Congrats! - Truly well made comedy with under backing a recycling subject, starring company's employees as emergency (EMS) personnal as seen in the most popular American Emergency TV programs!
0:41 Fairly new set with a tiny solid state PCB. The ones I'm most familiar with had huge steel chassis covered with tubes and point-to-point siring (No PCB's)
es un pecado destruir un crt Sony de 21 pulgadaso o 24 pulgadas que usan los monitores Sun o Silicon Graphics o NEC ,para computadora y radiologia { la calidad de imagen que ofrecen no son superadas hasta el dia de hoy} , o tubos como el de un IBM 2250 historicos. o monitores de computadoras o terminales fosforo verde , o tubos de radar y osciloscopios que buscan los coleccionistas. hay lugares que los recuperan, deberian existir estas opciones...
They have a weird vibe unlike soulless flat tv sets. I've fixed up a small black and white tv lately. It's a reminder of myself being a little kid in the sixties.

This video depicts at the end that this model dates from 1973 but, it's not the case! This one was produced in the end of 80's and the early 90's when LG purchased Zenith, then, the Zenith logo changed for only the "Z" part of the original Zenith logo! Zenith used, offered their classic console models to their customers (whatever the technology evolution) until their factory closeout!
I love a good CRT but they're horrible for the enviroment. If only these wern't so damn expensive and heavy to service and keep I think there would be way more floating around.
It may be horrible for the environment and so damn expensive only if destroying them. If not destroying them they are cheap and save for the environment.
repair the tubess and sell them back to the retro gamer community for a big price lol kinda funny how you could find a 25" crt for free 10 years ago but now id pay good money for a refurb one for my arcade cab
I can still get free CRTs on the regular here and I think it's mostly because they charge money to recycle them. The main issue for finding donor tubes is people who give them away tend not to list model numbers so it's a crapshoot on if it's a suitable donor tube.
@@justz00t48 I went to a local thrift store yesterday, and I was very happy with what I saw. They have finally realized those TVs aren't worthless junk, and they had three of them for pretty decent prices.

Why crt can't be recycled?

Those CRT TV case could be actually used for computer case in my imagination. So: Laptop screen + computer MB + CRT case
Love the creativity!

As of today there are still people who still have such a TV
Yes, there are so many CRT TVs still out in the wild... but we're seeing less and less of them each year. The days are numbered!
@@Sunnking I don't think so. There is a number of us out there who love them and use them for retro gaming.
@@productions4452 that's absolutely true - you're the ones purchasing our refurbished models and keeping them alive - and we appreciate you :)
@@Sunnking Btw I might be interested in getting a small refurbished crt in the future. You guys have a shop on ebay?
@@productions4452 we sure do! www.ebay.com/str/Sunnking

Those you mention were the first and later those manufactured by Zenith, the one in this video seems to be from 2008-2009

CRTs have more character imo, they're way cooler

That was surly still working. The new "TV"s will never last that & LCDs are non-recyclable.
This is a fantastic video.
What is done with the particleboard/wood from CRTs or any electronic that has a wooden cabinet?
We separate and send them along to a further waste stream.
Very Well made 👍. My Best Wishes. God Bless you and your team. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I have a a couple of crt tvs and I mainly fix them and older vcrs
These tube tvs can be altered to see and view the alternate dimension you call the spirit world.
Прикольный телеящик, с ретро дизайном.

I’m going to start remaking these, just with actual radiation shields and no leaded glass
Was a beautiful forniture 😢
那是古董，為什麼要摧毀它?🤔
Imagine living your life as a CRT and then getting turned into an LCD.
