Just a thought. Do you think you could refurb that thing and sell it to a hospital, or university? Even if you had to spend 2k, that thing sells for $97,000.

Would probably require special certification.

 

[Tech_Junkie]

Even still, how much can certification run? Refurb should run at least 20k.

No it doesn't.

It sells for $0.99 (plus freight)

This is last generation technology. They don't want last year's refurbished stuff. In this country especially, they demand the latest tech available.

Maybe if you made it 100% and then took it to a third world country . . . .

does it contain anything interesting from dissection? :> read a manual. it seems to have a lot of light filters. and mention of an ion laser.

Oh! Pretty.

I won this laser Although it says the winning bid is $0.99, I am actually giving the guy $80 for it. It will be picked up on Wednesday morning. I might need a little help from the forum with the disassembling of the unit and extraction the laser. Will post in the gas lasers section when I get it.

Thats BS, how did he con you into that?

Just remember it takes 220v (or something around there) so you'll need to plug it in where your washing machine is/was.

Well, I am guessing that he was an eBay nub and didn't know how to set a minimum bid. The moment I won the auction I messaged him about contacting him for the pickup. He replied with something about how it will cost him $60 in gas alone for him to pick up the sequencer from a garage etc...
I figure it like this... I'd rather have a DNA Sequencer/Argon Laser and $80 less, than no sequencer at all

Thanks for the reminder, that might have caused me a LOT of trouble... I'll try to find a 220V plug in my house.
