Texas recycles day 2007

[Chad Hauris]

Texas Recycles Day 2007 went pretty well...good weather and got some good equipment. I guess this will be my 4th year doing it. I think I did get some more tube type equipment this year than last. Goodwill was on hand to take the working modern electronics plus the usual other goods they collect.
I am still surprised that no flat panel sets have shown up yet, though.

These photos show the truck having returned from the recycle days.
Also we got some muddy Motorola sets that appeared to be hospital sets. Since they said Insta-View and had no "no user serviceable parts" warning and also had an interlock, I thought they were tube sets. They turned out not to be! and were also rusty and very dirty inside and were missing parts such as the speakers and wires were cut here and there. We salvaged the reuseable parts from these sets and discarded the rest. These two sets were the only things we had to discard.

Also here is a GE portable and RCA. Both are working but seem to have CRT's which are a little weak. And, a GE tube type b/w set...does not appear to have power (maybe bad switch.)
