Greetings;
I'm Shaul from Israel, Male 58 years old.
Been here about a week now, laying low and reading the posts.
Ten years ago, after being ripped off by an unscrupulous computer-scrap buyer, I decided that if I couldn't do my own refining I wouldn't waste my time; and so began a great adventure. At some point I discovered Shor's refining system but felt it wouldn't suit my needs, I also didn't like the idea of having to buy their secret chemicals at exorbitant prices. I believed that electro-refining was my best choice as living in a rented apartment in a residential neighborhood (and not having a proper work space) severely limited my options. Having thick brown acid fumes pouring out my windows doesn't make for friendly neighbors.
I joined an electroplating forum and read their posts. From there I discovered and joined the MicronGold user group. On MicronGold someone suggested Recyclebiz (I see that Chris Hyder and Chris Owen from the recyclebiz group, are here as well. That says a lot to me as any information from these two is tops.) And now, just over a week ago someone on MicronGold posted a link to this site. This is like a dream come true with everything under one roof.
My present situation is as follows; I live in a rented apartment in a residential neighborhood as before, and though I have yet to process anything, I never stopped collecting and now have a huge amount of raw material from computer-related stuff and junked high-end medical equipment, both of which I have a steady supply.
That's it for now and glad to be on board.

Welcome to the forum Shaul,

It's always good to get new members from all over the world. It seems lately we have a lot of new members from Isreal.

If you haven't checked out the guided tour yet you should, it's a good starting point for our new members.

Welcome, Shaul,

Thanks for the compliment. Recyclebiz sort of died out, so I haven't been on there in a long time. One guy from recyclebiz that I would love to get on this forum, is Reality, the platinum chemist from Brazil. I lost his email. Do you happen do know it?

Thanks,
Chris Owen
 
Chris;
I ran across a post between Flexyman and Reality where flexyman says to email him privately at [email protected]
You might try flexyman at the above address and see if he's got anything as they seemed to have a decent amount of correspondence between them.

Thanks for the welcome in. Between the Guided Tour and the videos on your website (awesome work) and all the other knowledgeable people here, this place is truly a Gold Mine.
Thanks Again,
Shaul
 
Thanks, Shaul. I emailed flexyman a few minutes ago.

Just got a notice that flexyman's email address was discontinued. Thanks for trying. I just made a post on recyclebiz, asking for reality's address. Maybe, someone has it. Scott may delete my post.
