Hello all,

I have an the following TV

RCA - Model #F32665
Chasis #CTC203CX

A friend of mine owned this unit for a few years, and it reciently
went out on him. His story is that one morning he went to turn on the
TV, and when he turned on the power to the room the TV made a loud
buzzing sound. He asked me to look at it (I'm a Computer Tech, have no
idea what he was thinking) - but anyways, I dont know enough about
TV's to start tearing stuff up.

Well - he just went and baught a new one instead of looking at the
repair option and asked me if I wanted it.

I took the TV apart, trying to track down the source of the sound.

pictures are here

I cant specifically tell where the sound is coming from, just hard to
tell, but the pictures are of the general area.

I probably wont get it repaired either, the nearest place is about 45
minutes, and with the quote they gave me to just come out, I could buy
a new 32" TV.

If I cant fix it......what is the proper disposal of a TV of this
sort?

Thanks for any advice.

Described as buzzing - perhaps the vertical output
transformer (or whatever the younger fellows call it
nowadays

Or, how about the degaussing coil?

Just thinking out loud...
