W whynot? New Member Jul 28, 2009 #1 How do I safely remove the Platinum from an old console TV picture tube? It is a Zenith but I'm sure that doesn't matter. Please advise...I have been trying to figure this out for months! Thanks.

Nigel Goodwin Super Moderator Most Helpful Member Jul 28, 2009 #4 Yes, not enough of anything to be worthwhile - really silly idea.
