A Television Journey

Walk with me on a journey of dismantling the Sony KV-36FS76U television, and learn how it was made and the technology employed. I was just recently given this to scrap and figured the parts would save me a bundle of cash for future electronics projects. A conventional television has many components that would be useful for simple electronics projects and I usually recycle everything.

Note, that this is not a repair guide. If you have an old television like this in need of repair, then the best thing to do is to buy a new one instead. This television has one of the largest tubes ever made, and has a fixed useful life period. An internal computer records the number of hours the tube has operated. Once it is past its useful life period, the tube will no longer work, hence you will be wasting time and money for nothing trying to fix it. Therefore, it is better to scrap it and buy a new model instead.
