No problem for the 9" Periscope from the classic series, I can knock off the glassblown tip at the end of the CRT, but my 17" DOA StudioDisplay's CRT has a cover smack dab on top of the usual suspect.
Got a dry cut Diamond Blade for my Roto-Zip yesterday and I've got two CRTs to neatly lop off right behind the metal mounting band.
Several options come to mind:
First off, build an implosion containment system and . . .
a) drive a nail into the open (or clear plastic covered?) center hole of teat cover on the back of the 17" CRT
B) drive said implement into the electrode hole
c) spend a little more money on a dremel type diamond bit to grind/drill into either entry point.
I don't have a use for the backside of the 9 incher, but I'd like to keep the faux fanny/contacts intact on the 17 incher . . .
. . . suggestions? :?:
