[Yesterday: 3.25 miles w\/sprints]<\/p>\n
I bought a pallet of retired laboratory stuff from surplus at University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.\u00a0 Yesterday I drove over early and picked it up.<\/p>\n
The item that caught my eye in the auction listing is a Heathkit IP-2717 high voltage power supply.\u00a0 It is just the thing a guy wants if he is going to be working with tube amplifiers.\u00a0 I don’t do much of that, but it seemed like a good item to take to a hamfest for the swap.\u00a0 (I actually already have an IP-17 which is basically the same but a different color.)<\/p>\n
Also in the pile were two other power supplies which were used for lab work.\u00a0 They produce a few hundred volts at 50-100 mA.\u00a0 And there is a low voltage adjustable supply which will do 6 volts at 5 Amps.<\/p>\n
The pile includes a couple of acid\/base analyzer units, one of which uses a nixie tube display.\u00a0 These things are built like tanks with aluminum and screws and fancy clamp-on knobs.\u00a0 I think these units have been replaced by much smaller modern equipment, so I’m taking these apart for the components.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
