So much stuff, so very grateful!

I unloaded a whole truck load (53' dry van) of telecom stuff today. This stuff added to the stuff I already had has filled my shop. I will be working around the clock for a while now. I am going to have to build another building. I have filled 6000 sq ft of floor space and barely have room left for gaylord boxes.

Folks I will be 100% honest with you right now. I work my rear end off and always try to do the next right thing by other people and my own family. I was grateful to have my Dad and my Nephew help help me unload the truck. As of now I will be processing it myself with some family help here and there. (They come unasked after their own regular jobs to help).

I have an extensive computer background, but I know very little about telecom stuff. The funny thing is my Dad worked for the telephone company for 40 years and himself installed some of this stuff years ago.

Some of the boards are new. The 2 pallets that are as wide as the trailer are all new boards.

I just took a few pictures to give you some idea of what is going on here. I will add more pictures along the way.

If anyone has any suggestions feel free to post them here or PM me. I generally check here every morning or late at night.

Most of this stuff is older NORTEL stuff.

Also if anyone wants certain pictures of certain things feel free to ask.

You were asking for suggestions..........My only suggestion is to get to WORK!

LOL Kewl score man did u pay for stuff or just haul it off?

The guy that owns the company replacing the equipment got a hold of me through my local scrap yard and we arranged for me to process it for a 60/40 split of all proceeds with the transportation for both of us coming off the top. His expense to get it to me and my expense to get the boards to Ohio to the buyer from this forum I will be dealing with. I get the 60%. Good deal or not? I guess I don't know yet...LOL

Yeah u can't hardly lose with that split and taking all expenses off the top is a good idea...........Good deal

Looks like a great load and deal...Devils Horns right back at ya.

WOW.....DROOL.....WOW......awesome stuff you have there and a nice deal to boot on the split. All that work will keep you nice and warm in the coming months. Congrats !!!!

Those big racks look like it came out of a call center of some sort.

Sweet score, wish I had the problem of being swamped like that !

I have looked into the NORTEL angle a bit, but time is not on my side. It does take a lot of time to research these things. A lot of the boards I have are still in the boxes they came in. But on the other hand a lot of the boxes are date for overnight delivery in 1993 through 1997. These units were still online until recently though. It is a hard call, especially since there is soooo very much that every moment I put off puts me farther behind. I would imagine that even telecom stuff reaches an end of life stage. I do know that the folks who replaced it could have cared less. They were just interested in installing their new equipment and told me so.
