Ah ok - the guy I bought them off mentioned a couple of times that it was something I should do (and he had about 200 of these sets in storage when I bought my ones). Would trying it have any effect (or would I just be wasting my time?) Not using a variac would save me a lot of hassle but I just want to be sure.

I've never opened up a TV like this before but I'm aware that there are some extremely high voltages in them. How safe is this step to perform for an 'amatuer'? Are there any photos online that would show me what I'm looking for?

They've been sat in my living room for a couple of weeks now (all 11 of them) - part of my urgency to get them sorted is my other half asking me what I'm going to do with them.
Thanks again for the assistance.
