Coating System For Sale


 

Hi, Everybody!

I bought an old CVC coater a few years ago, intending to fix it up and start coating telescope mirrors. But I got too busy making the mirrors, so this coater project has languished. Now it's time to sell this to somebody that has the time and energy to put her back into working order.

The bell chamber is about 23.5" in diameter, and about 27.5" tall inside. I am including a rebuilt roughing pump, and a rebuilt diffusion pump, neither of which has been used since I bought them. I did run the roughing pump for a minute to make sure it would pull a vacuum. There's also a bunch of stuff like coils, aluminum pieces, SiO, diffusion pump oil, an evaporation boat, a fixture and so forth.

I have a write-up on the system, plus many, many photos on my Web site at . Click on the coater item under the "What's New" area at the top left of the page and have a look. Enjoy yourself, and feel free to make any offer on the system that would work for you. It's gotta go, so if you want a good coater project, this is a great opportunity for you. Thanks!

Hi, Everybody,

I just put my coater up for sale on eBay... No minimum bet and no reserve, so it goes in five days! Here's your chance to get the major components of a coater, probably at a low price. Link to the auction is:



Thanks!

Sorry I didn't see your question earlier. The coater is on eBay with no minimum and no reserve, ends 10/26 I believe. The link is in my other posting. Again, sorry I didn't see your question before!

Hi!

I made a slight change on the eBay listing of our auction for the coater we have for sale. There is still no minimum bid, but there is a small reserve on the auction, to cover the cost we had on the rebuilt diffusion pump and the rebuilt roughing pump. Let me know if you have any questions about the machine. Always happy to help...

Thanks,

Gordon
