Re: Forbio Vitron robots

[Tim Roche <timroche@INDO.NET.ID>]

Tim,
You have my sympathies. Maybe we should set up a 'Droids R Us'.
We have continued to use the Vitron boxes (VTBs)-recycling them by gamma
irradiation which has proven to be very cost effective for us at least.  I
do know also that prior to the liquidation sale, Forbio had a large store of
VTBs.  I don't know where they ended up but I can make enquiries. It may
also be possible to track down the orginal producer and negotiate a supply
agreement with whoever now owns the mold. I will see what I can find out and
will let you know.
Regds,
Tim
