I think im going to move to PA!!!
But alas its a long way from New Zealand.
I myself am a lurker, and not messaged within this
group before, im collecting pieces to build myself a
telescope sputtering chamber, so i joined to get tips and
to learn from some rather experienced individuals.
Im almost there, all i need is a diffusion pump and
either a 14" bell jar or a tig welded stainless chamber,
but getting hold of pressure vessel heads here in NZ is
nigh impossible as with almost everything i am interested
in...so its custom spun heads or a bell jar, both qiute
expensive.
I am so enviouse of the surplus shops and brick'a'brack
junk shops you have in the USA, i tottaly would jump in my
truck and travel interstate to pick up an old chamber or
bell jar, the adventure of driving tot new places and to
pick up some "science gold" at the end of that rainbow is
intoxicating. nerd-vana!!
