06:55.14sb0so the taobao vacuum stuff has arrived and looks good, except the $20 turbopump that really looked too good to be true

07:33.45whitequark$20 turbopump!?
07:33.51whitequarksb0: which one?
07:34.43sb0http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.9.77.05PAax&id=40571989007&_u=g26gvtjq97dd
07:34.52sb0not clear, though, if the seller expects a price offer
07:35.01whitequarkoh
07:35.51sb0my Chinese sucks as much as you imagine, so I just tried to place the order, but the seller didn't ship
07:35.51whitequarkprobably, yes
07:36.08whitequarkthere are quite a few pumps at 100 CNY there
07:36.46sb0yes, and there are others at interesting prices. not 100 CNY, but still interesting.
07:37.10whitequarkhehe
07:37.19whitequarkprobably not includes shipping
07:37.31whitequarkbtw, any idea where could one find venting valves?
07:37.48whitequarka ebay seller did not screw off the one at the pump I got, and it got totalled by the post
07:38.05sb0some are stocked in taiwan or near shenzhen, shouldn't be too expensive to ship to hk
07:38.07whitequark$700 new retail price?!
07:38.18whitequarkfor a fucking electromagnet?!
07:38.31sb0hehe, yeah, welcome to the western vacuum world
07:38.40sb0suppliers are happy to get fat margins
07:38.49sb0professors have an excuse to ask for fat grants
07:38.51whitequarkI need to find some plant being decommissioned
07:39.00sb0universities are happy taking a nice margin from the fat grant
07:39.16sb0everyone loves it, right?
07:39.35whitequarksighs
07:39.53whitequarkbtw, this pump had a metal "jacket" when it arrived
07:40.07whitequarkout of something really soft, possibly lead, though I don't remember lead being *this* soft
07:40.10whitequarkwhy?
07:40.13sb0I got my venting valve from Alek, who dumpster-dived it I guess
07:40.34sb0and I dumpster-dived some more from an institute in Berlin
07:40.38whitequarkhmmm
07:40.45whitequarkI have a manual one, but it's kind of a PITA
07:40.58DocScrutinizer05you wouldn't believe how sleep-preventing a >>Nurnberg, Germany 12/16/2014 1:04 A.M.Out For Delivery<< can act
07:41.11whitequarkyes. yes I would
07:41.37DocScrutinizer05particularly with the knowledge about the 1054z content
07:42.54DocScrutinizer05shakes the fist with 5 bucks in coins for the poor UPS slave

16:58.03wpwrakhmm DocScrutinizer05's silence must mean that ...
16:58.21wpwrak1) he's outside, nervously pacing up and down the street, checking the time every two seconds,
16:58.43wpwrak2) he fell asleep, less than a minute before the UPS man rang the doorbell,
16:59.20wpwrak3) he's now sitting with a wide grin in front of his new rigol, pressing buttons, looking at the blinkenlights, and echoing the beeps :)
17:00.35whitequarkthe courier usually arrives when I *am* asleep, during the day
17:00.46whitequarkI now can open the door and sign off the package without actually waking up
18:16.04wpwrak;-))
18:29.03larscThe postman figured out that I'm on vacation and drops off all the packages for the whole appartment complex at my place...
18:34.25wpwraknice. lars goes postal ;-)
18:35.38whitequarkhaha, so, I just discovered that that $700 valve?
18:35.46whitequarkyou can buy it for about $12 retail, exact same thing
18:36.02whitequarkwell, almost, has female thread rather than male
