A few days ago, I walked into a no-name rummage shop,
on Pine and Summit in
Seattle, and found a large Gene Sequencer, with attached teletype, and lots
of other analytical equipment. It's a heavy duty piece of equipment (all
steel,) and very serious looking. It probably weighs a ton, and it's about 4
feet long by 2-3 feet tall. Also, it looks old, like from the late
sixties-early seventies (just a guess.)
The most truly amazing surplus story I've ever heard was that of a fellow that
acquired a surplus Plutonium processing plant from INEL, up in Idaho. The
government managed to stop him from shipping it to India, but it was a close
thing.
