It's not surprising that Apex Electronics looks like something out of "RoboCop." Special-effects crews, prop masters and set designers swarm to the 30-year-old high-tech junkyard in Sun Valley to put together the bells and lasers for movies such as "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," "RoboCop 3" and "Terminator 2."
Its 40,000-square-foot warehouse and yard stock just about everything electronic, from the tiny--more than 154 types of resistors--to the monolithic--anybody need a 4-foot, 350-pound, 28-volt, 200-amp power supply? In between are oscilloscopes, microscopes, microphones, microprocessors, motors, lenses, knobs, buttons, switches, dish antennae and enough miles of cable to wrap the Earth like a ball of twine.
