During Slow times, I always thought its a good idea to make up an inventory
list of a shops boneyard items, in either a text file or another format, and
join the Parts_Link group I made, and upload it there. In case anyone needs
something, all they need do is search the group , and if they needed
anything and you had it, you could make a buck or 2, and help save a repair.
Likewise, if you need something , the same system applies. Unfortunately,
not many shops participate as much as I would have hoped.

Subject: [TechAssist] Bummer in the boneyard
hello all;
I would like to share an epiphany I had about the efficiency of the
"boneyard".
I might have been able to help William with his JVC junker request had
he posted
it two weeks ago. I have since tossed out countless audio and TV items
from the warehouse.
Why? About a month ago, I decided to time how long it took to find what
one was looking for
in the boneyard ( if it got found at all).
The average was 20 minutes!!! Worse yet, the part was usually some
odd-ball resister, or a
timing cap. All of which are better off purchased new, if one considers
the lost labor time during the
"hunt".
Ergo, I have made the decision to get rid of everything less than a
known good chassis.
Just my take on the situation...comments?
