From the Tech Desk: Sharing Experience & Knowledge

There is a constant push to introduce new products into the marketplace by companies in an attempt to stay on the cutting edge and to sell their products.  The pressure is on to sell the new equipment when the existing product is still a good functioning piece of equipment.   Reading in the various technical publications you can see articles that mention development tools that will help reduce the time to market a new product.  What would normally take years, can be reduced to months by using these tools.  This again puts more pressure on companies and their distributors to sell their new products and tend to steer current customers to purchase the new equipment.  The older equipment is still in good condition and will continue to do the job it was designed for.  We at SurplusEQ.com strongly believe that the older equipment is still viable and with some maintenance procedure in place, this equipment can continue to function for many years.

In this blog, I would like to invite you to share your experience working with the equipment you have experience with and knowledge that you have gained from using those tools. One of the biggest problems that I come across is finding good documentation on the maintenance of the equipment. The information is hard to find and many of the products do not come with any maintenance information to help in repairing the equipment.  The only resort is to send it to the factory for repairs – which can take several weeks or longer.

I am hoping to mutually share tips on usage and repair information of the various pieces of equipment that you are using in the field. Some of this repair work can be done by you if you feel you are confident and have the right information.  Feel free to comment below or send an email to support@surpluseq.com and submit questions to me that you may have relating to the use, repair and maintenance of your equipment and I will do my best to get an answer for you.  I have found that you are the best source of information on the operation of the equipment.  We all have different ways of doing our work to get the job done.  Sharing your knowledge on this blog will let other members see how you do your process which might be a different way for them to do the same job.  You might also learn different ways to improve your processes.
