Scanning Electron Microscope?

I went to a used Govt. Surplus yard yesterday and came across this gem.

I would have snapped it up in a second if it hadn't been left out in the elements for God only knows how long.... :(

Sadly, the model is still in use today.

I mean, how cool would it be to be able to say "You need 1500X magnification? No problem. I have an scanning electron microscope in my garage". :lol:

I ended up with a bunch of large Ammo cans, a bunch of Vacuum tubes and a bunch of other odd and ends. My pick-up truck bed was full and paid $150 bucks.

they have any H1s that could be used as an off road vehicle for cheap? :D

Nope. Just a couple of Old M35's. Though, I don't know if the guy would sell one.

man! what the heck?! A goverment surplus yard? I wish we had one around where I live!\
For the record,my magnifying glass doesnt do too well,I might look into this. ;D

5963's.

Cool stuff man. You ever want to get rid of any of those 5963s, let me know. I've got a 60's Gibson Hawk that's begging for some new glass in the reverb and tremolo circuits. Any idea if they're any good? NOS or just pulls from old equipment?

I'm sure Brandon's mentioned the amount of work I've done with tube equipment... I promise they'll be in a good home :D.

Send me a PM with an offer. I can't and won't tell you they have been tested to work. But I can tell you they were pulled from equipment that was put in storage or disposed of while still in working order.

More stuff...

I have no flippin' idea WTF this is... Obviously, it's an "Engine electrical Test" kit, but google wasn't very forthcoming...

Wow I would be curious to see that thing in action, I'll show it to my dad and see if he has ever saw anything like that...

A shame to see useful stuff that should be kept indoors rotting outside. Old or not, a SEM is useful to someone somewhere. That could have been the 'scope that identifies a cure for the zombie virus!
