                               ITALY FOR AFRICA

Since the appearance of LCD TV's on the market, catode ray tube ones have taken a back seat.
Many people get rid of them even if they are still functioning.
These old TV's were made to last, they were made so they could be repaired at a low cost.
I had in my spare parts department many of these old pieces of history, many were given to me by my clients and others I found near the local tip.
I repaired them and put them aside waiting for the occasion to send them to Africa, without spending a lot on transport.
That was when I met Abdul, apart from the TV's I gave him other small electronic devices, for example car radios, cassette players, radios etc. etc...
With everthing being digital nowadays no one was interested in bying these pieces.
I also gave him a small fridge and a washing machine pump, I'm sure they will be of use to someone.
Thank you Abdul for giving me the possibility to recycle these things, I would have hated the thought of them ending up in the tip.
