    Hello From Texas

    My family and I have run a telecommunications business here in Texas for over 30 years. Over the course of these 30+ years, we've acquired massive amount of surplus telecommunications equipment. Much of it high-end satellite encoders, amplifiers, decoders, modems, up and down converters, etc.

    A big part of our business was also designing and manufacturing various satellite based equipment. As a result, we have a huge inventory of unused circuit board components (IC s, resistors, capacitors, connectors, transformers, relays, etc., etc.)
    Unfortunately, business is winding down, and we're thinking we need to start cleaning up…

    I’ve been doing quite a bit of research lately on the possibility of disassembling and scrapping some of the higher-end stuff. This site is by far the best source of information I've come across… Full of some of the friendliest, most knowledgeable folks out there.


    I'm going to continue to read through the older threads to try and learn as much as I can before asking too many questions. However, I know I'm going to have some, and I want to thank everyone in advance… I know I'm in the right place for a little guidance.

    I appreciate all the hard work that you all put into this business, and appreciate the opportunity to be part of your forum. Thank you all for having me.

    David

    Welcome to SMF. There are a lot of very knowledgeable individuals on the forum that have provided tons of information on the old threads. If you read them you will find answers to questions you did not even realize you had. There are some in your part of the country, but since I am a greenhorn in escrap I will let them introduce themselves. Good luck.
    Give back more to this world than we take.

    Welcome welcome, and all that polite stuff.

    So tell us...

    How do you feel about accepting Cooler's into your life? Cooler's will save you if you just allow them into your heart.

    Think on this my Texas friend, an what a cooler could do for you.

    (Seriously...welcome to the forum from a sandbar off the coast of NC!)

    Love to see fellow Texans on the boards.

    I know of a couple of decent buyers here in the DFW area. FMI recycling near Illinois Ave & Westmoreland in Oak Cliff. Also HLH&R in Waxahatchie was GREAT the time I drove down there, but I haven't visited them in a while.

    If you should come across a good buyer I don't know about, please let me know!
