Are they connected to Apex Jr? A lot of overlap between them, have sort of suspected Jr runs off of the trash of surplus but have never known for certain. Apex Jr helped make my electronics habbit possible back when I was young and poor.

The guy that runs Apex has a brother on the other side of town that I don't think he gets along with. Is that place called Apex Jr? I seem to remember it being an industrial rental unit. I can't remember completely. I know that place does more big piece rentals of cool 60s computer panel blinkenlights etc.

Apex Jr is more a traditional electronics surplus with components and the the like but also various bits of electronic equipment as well as random weird stuff all surplus stores collect and some prop rental. I could see them operating off of the stuff Apex Surplus gets in bulk lots but is not really suited to their primary trade in props and part of the same business. Unlike Apex Surplus I don't think Apex Jr has ever updated their web design, looks pretty much the same as it was 20 odd years ago.
