    Description

    This auction is for the components shown in the first eight pictures and described under 3) on the list below (in
    bold
    ).
    I have taken apart a Perkin Elmer Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer Model 460 and selling its parts/components. This apparatus has been sitting in the back of my workshop for at least 10 years. It was bought at a university surplus store. With a few exceptions, I do not know whether the parts work, or what it would take to make them work again.
    Here is what I do know: None of the mirrors are intact. To some degree or other, they are clouded or otherwise flawed through exposure to chemical fumes. Unfortunately, this is also the case with the grating. I did plug in the unit before taking it apart. The hollow-cathode lamp (not included) lit up, and its brightness could be regulated as expected. However, the meter did not indicate the current. (I
    checked it separately, and it is faulty, getting stuck early on the scale.)
    In set-up mode, the display showed a combination of zeros and eights. In operational mode, it gave figures that seemed reasonable (last pic). There was a faint whitish glow coming out of the D2-lamp housing. (
    My guess is that it came from the heater, rather than the arc).
    The chopper motor could be heard spinning.
    Only the first eight pics show the parts included in this auction
    . The last four pics show the unit before I took it apart; these are for reference only.
    I divvied up the parts into the following four packages, each listed on eBay as a separate auction:
    1) Electronics—the whole drawer with all the circuits boards as well as wiring harness. I took care not to make any cuts to the wiring harness, with one exception: I did cut off the socket for the hollow-cathode lamp plug. About 40 lbs. Requires large box for shipping.
    2) D2 arc lamp along with the housing and mounting/base. Weight: 9 lbs. plus box and packaging materials. Requires medium-size box for shipping.
    3)
    This applies to this auction!
    Burner/Nebulizer incl. the whole chamber. Weight: 27 lbs plus box
    plus box and packaging materials.
    Requires a large box for shipping.
    4) All components in the path of the light beam outside the burner/nebulizer, except for the D2-lamp plus housing/mounting (sold separately) and the HC-lamp plus holder (which I keep). Since the grating and mirrors are all shot (clouded or otherwise marred), the reusable parts include the mountings, the chopper, the PM detector (in its housing), the meter panel (the meter itself does not work), and the mechanisms to select slot size and wavelength (worked before disassembly). The wire and chain are good. Weight: 26 lbs
    plus box and packaging materials. Requires a large box.
    Shipping note #1: The shipping is based on the weight and dimensions of everything included in this auction.
    If you are only interested in certain components of this auction, I'd be happy to send you just these. I will reduce the shipping cost according to the weight/dimensions of the desired parts. For this to work, communication is important. Please contact me either before the closing of the auction, or right thereafter.
    Shipping note #2:
    Alternative delivery option for buyers in Wisconsin or the UP: If you are not in a particular hurry, I might be able to deliver this item to your place for a lower charge. If you are potentially interested in this option, please contact me prior to making a bid.
