Been shopping for a microscope for my new electronics workbench and stumbled upon this. I don't think my wife will approve. Think I could sneak it into the basement? Shipping is only $1200!

If you need it, then you need it. Not open for further discussion.

Can that be used to remove static from pickguards or LPs?

I still have this exact model from the early '80s somewhere. I don't know if it sputters, though. It's all in the sputter.

As I often say, I think it would be a sin NOT to buy this! Your wife would probably get over it -- though if she didn't it would probably have little to do with the purchase of an electron microscope. ;)

Hmm... I always thought of SAM as surface-to-air missle, but maybe that's my Air Force background. :D

An electron microscope seems like just a little overkill for your home electronics workshop, GAD, but hey... As Cynthia already said, if you need to have it... :D :D

Might as well get a CAT scan machine while you're at it.

Apart from that - if GAD neds it then what's there to discuss?

Waiting for analyzis - report - whatever . . .

More a fan of the MRI but I can't be bothered to install the necessary shielding. :)

My dentist has a Conical Beam CT machine and he gives me the reader and the files. I've found things that he's missed because I have such weird problems stemming from being kicked in the face in my 20s. I could locate weird issues that I could feel but couldn't really point to. He actually has a published article about me that he wrote hanging in the office.

The ability to see inside stuff in 3D would be SO valuable.

Also, let's not forget... the noise from those suckers could break up a happy family.

I CANNOT wait until we have a change to grab an adult beverage and listen to your stories. Folks, I hope the next LMG will have "GAD's Story Time" baked into the schedule.

I used to teach. Give me a whiteboard and I can literally go for days. :)

Most of my guitars have stories. I think that's common for people who collect and go meet people who are selling. Hans has some great stories.
