MrBlank1 - 15-12-2014 at 03:25

I have some of my old lab(sob) equipment,that I would be willing to give(no $$$) to anyone willing to:

A) collect or organize transit of.
B) assure me that it will not be put to mis-use.

Overhead Stirrer/Dental lab mixer @ ?85w(US voltage,110). Also have some sprays(silicon,ptfe dry lube,lithium grease, etc), 20kg Bag of CaOH(plaster's grade, good for waste-water treatment), plus a few other bits and pieces.

Temp controller, 12v 20A power supply.
Mostly from ebay, can give details as needed. First choice will be given to anyone that has previously interacted with me here, out of gratitude for the help of the many who have helped.

Will update here as I locate more goods in boxes.

How big is the overhead stirrer unit? I'm quite keen but live in NSW so would require it shipped.

that, but 85w, iirc. No stand, lawmen liked that for evidence. Used once, so it would be good to see it go to a good home. remember, 110v.

Is it wise to be unloading your chemistry supplies while embroiled in a chemistry-related legal dispute?

During the second raid/visit by LE, I was advised to get rid of any "non-repurposeable/non-expensive lab stuff" and stay away from home-brew(mashing/fermenting) to avoid any further possible misunderstanding. The stuff I have to give is what is left 6 months later, after getting rid of stated disposables. The LE staff were not interested in equipment, other than those specified as category 1 or 2 items. If I am missing something, please do point it out(I'm a bit narrow minded at times).

I asked about the mashing/fermenting, as I was getting ready to brew home-brew for my close circle, whilst still learning about something chemistry related. And was "30 web pages-catalogue deep into/15-30 minutes from departure to acquire" said supplies from respective brew stores. Bye Bye mag stirrer/hot plate, and the few erlin-meyers/reagent bottles I had bought from above suppliers for wort stirring/temp control. Oh wells. "A spit in the ocean". :)

Given I've already been raided this year I shouldn't have a problem with it. I've never been a big proponent of the gamblers fallacy, but I can't help but think I'm due a decent stretch of peace and quiet :P.

I'm just looking around for a spare step-down transformer before U2U'ing.

As a beginner being home schooled, I would be interested in any equipment you think may benefit my learning.
