Thanks Paolo!
Reading your web page has inspired me to bring forward my imaginary deadline
to the IT department! The monitor is now on death row, awaiting demolition.
Those IT boys now have very little time remaining to rescue their monitor
and transport it to safety... I will let you know what I find inside!

components from the monitor for homebrew projects! The wire in the field
deflection coils are useful for winding coils from. There must be other
useful stuff in there too!
Been there! :-) And written about it. See
Also featured: VCR, CD-ROM and laptop. One day I will add TV and
floppy-disk drives as well.

PS: when I dismantled that monitor I was not yet into winding coils, so
I just kept the inductors, which I am now using as wire source.
PPS: hot-air guns are a great tool for part scrounging! (but you MUST do
it in open-air and dry WX ;-) )
