Junque Collecting

This is where the majority of the parts on our supply shelves come from. We maintain a massive archive of "junque" collected from old and recycled gear. It's all perfectly good and useable parts, thousands and thousands of dollars of gear that would have otherwise ended up at the bottom of a landfill or a scrapmetal pile. We pull anything that is useful, test it, and reuse it in future projects. Only the true Junk is finally tossed in the scrap heap.

I'd love to turn that giant relay board into a USB controlled relays :) Not sure what I would use it for though. Perhaps every light in the house?
