[vcf-midatlantic] Yet another electronics surplus company is going out of business:

[Sentrytv]

When I was in the television business between 1980 and 2000,
I used to order parts from Universal-Semi conductors,
which was up in Sparta New Jersey.
 
I even met the owners Orrin and Adele.

I once had a conversation about purchasing their business, many years ago of course, 
I could not do that purchase at the time.
“They” sell on eBay, I’m sure it’s not the
 original owners.
But they still have components that I could use on the old TV -VCR stuff and more!
