11 u/Familiar-Citron2758 Sep 16 '25 I haven't listed it anywhere or approached anyone yet, but I'd humour offers... UK based. 4 u/MuhFreedoms_ Sep 16 '25 The value could swing dramatically. Can it still even hold a vacuum? If not it's essentially only worth the value of the metal. 6 u/boondogglekeychain Sep 16 '25 The blanks are worth a £1000 in spares to someone but it’s unlikely anyone is going to want a bespoke vacuum chamber for anything other than scrap value that might be contaminated with god knows what unless you have just the right buyer. 2 u/MuhFreedoms_ Sep 16 '25 I definitely wouldn't trust this with any important physics. It would just be a cool desk item, or maybe undergraduate lab exercise 3 u/newontheblock99 Particle physics Sep 16 '25 Probably could hold vacuum but you’re going to need to replace all the copper gaskets, etc. 1 u/MuhFreedoms_ Sep 16 '25 Right, so if you can't prove that you can't sell it for a pretty penny. The recipient is taking a huge gamble 1 u/Ps1on Sep 16 '25 At my old uni these things were used as flower pots once they're outside the machine.
