so the taobao vacuum stuff has arrived and looks good, except the $20 turbopump that really looked too good to be true

$20 turbopump!?
<
whitequark>
sb0: which one?
<
sb0>
not clear, though, if the seller expects a price offer
<
sb0>
my Chinese sucks as much as you imagine, so I just tried to place the order, but the seller didn't ship
<
whitequark>
probably, yes
<
whitequark>
there are quite a few pumps at 100 CNY there
<
sb0>
yes, and there are others at interesting prices. not 100 CNY, but still interesting.
<
whitequark>
probably not includes shipping
<
whitequark>
btw, any idea where could one find venting valves?
<
whitequark>
a ebay seller did not screw off the one at the pump I got, and it got totalled by the post
<
sb0>
some are stocked in taiwan or near shenzhen, shouldn't be too expensive to ship to hk
<
whitequark>
$700 new retail price?!
<
whitequark>
for a fucking electromagnet?!
<
sb0>
hehe, yeah, welcome to the western vacuum world
<
sb0>
suppliers are happy to get fat margins
<
sb0>
professors have an excuse to ask for fat grants
<
whitequark>
I need to find some plant being decommissioned
<
sb0>
universities are happy taking a nice margin from the fat grant
<
sb0>
everyone loves it, right?
<
whitequark>
btw, this pump had a metal "jacket" when it arrived
<
whitequark>
out of something really soft, possibly lead, though I don't remember lead being
*this* soft
<
sb0>
I got my venting valve from Alek, who dumpster-dived it I guess
<
sb0>
and I dumpster-dived some more from an institute in Berlin
<
whitequark>
I have a manual one, but it's kind of a PITA

hmm DocScrutinizer05's silence must mean that ...
<

1) he's outside, nervously pacing up and down the street, checking the time every two seconds,
<

2) he fell asleep, less than a minute before the UPS man rang the doorbell,

3) he's now sitting with a wide grin in front of his new rigol, pressing buttons, looking at the blinkenlights, and echoing the beeps :)

haha, so, I just discovered that that $700 valve?
<

you can buy it for about $12 retail, exact same thing
