40,000 RPM, Holy Man -- Now wouldn't my old Prof in Micro' love to have had that contraption in his Lab! The ol'boy nearly started bawling when they installed his new autoclave....On the "Terrorist" issue: I suppose just about anything is "Dual-Use" these days, even a book of matches and a glass of milk. One would hope that the sellers do verify to whom they're selling lab apparatus but the fact is that this small-time lab equipment is available to almost anyone anywhere, with the small-change to pay for it.

Ya know, there are lots of reputable second hand dealers in lab gear. I don't understand why anyone would put this up on ebay. It seems really dumb. Maybe you should let this lot be known to the 'proper' authorities OW.

of course, clever authorities, hoping to catch someone who hopes to elude official notice... nahhh never mind. ;-) E.

It just seems so wrong though. It's an enticing piece of bait, I guess.
