<sb0> so the taobao vacuum stuff has arrived and looks good, except the $20 turbopump that really looked too good to be true

<whitequark> $20 turbopump!?
<whitequark> sb0: which one?
<sb0> not clear, though, if the seller expects a price offer
<whitequark> oh
<sb0> my Chinese sucks as much as you imagine, so I just tried to place the order, but the seller didn't ship
<whitequark> probably, yes
<whitequark> there are quite a few pumps at 100 CNY there
<sb0> yes, and there are others at interesting prices. not 100 CNY, but still interesting.
<whitequark> hehe
<whitequark> probably not includes shipping
<whitequark> btw, any idea where could one find venting valves?
<whitequark> a ebay seller did not screw off the one at the pump I got, and it got totalled by the post
<sb0> some are stocked in taiwan or near shenzhen, shouldn't be too expensive to ship to hk
<whitequark> $700 new retail price?!
<whitequark> for a fucking electromagnet?!
<sb0> hehe, yeah, welcome to the western vacuum world
<sb0> suppliers are happy to get fat margins
<sb0> professors have an excuse to ask for fat grants
<whitequark> I need to find some plant being decommissioned
<sb0> universities are happy taking a nice margin from the fat grant
<sb0> everyone loves it, right?
* whitequark sighs
<whitequark> btw, this pump had a metal "jacket" when it arrived
<whitequark> out of something really soft, possibly lead, though I don't remember lead being *this* soft
<whitequark> why?
<sb0> I got my venting valve from Alek, who dumpster-dived it I guess
<sb0> and I dumpster-dived some more from an institute in Berlin
<whitequark> hmmm
<whitequark> I have a manual one, but it's kind of a PITA
<DocScrutinizer05> you wouldn't believe how sleep-preventing a >>Nurnberg, Germany 12/16/2014 1:04 A.M.Out For Delivery<< can act
<whitequark> yes. yes I would
<DocScrutinizer05> particularly with the knowledge about the 1054z content
* DocScrutinizer05 shakes the fist with 5 bucks in coins for the poor UPS slave

<wpwrak> hmm DocScrutinizer05's silence must mean that ...
<wpwrak> 1) he's outside, nervously pacing up and down the street, checking the time every two seconds,
<wpwrak> 2) he fell asleep, less than a minute before the UPS man rang the doorbell,
<wpwrak> 3) he's now sitting with a wide grin in front of his new rigol, pressing buttons, looking at the blinkenlights, and echoing the beeps :)
<whitequark> the courier usually arrives when I *am* asleep, during the day
<whitequark> I now can open the door and sign off the package without actually waking up

<larsc> The postman figured out that I'm on vacation and drops off all the packages for the whole appartment complex at my place...
<wpwrak> nice. lars goes postal ;-)
<whitequark> haha, so, I just discovered that that $700 valve?
<whitequark> you can buy it for about $12 retail, exact same thing
<whitequark> well, almost, has female thread rather than male
