It's supposed to rain here for like the next week, which is ok...Maybe I can get some indoor stuff done.

And I got one of my raised gardens planted yesterday...perfect timing!

I'm going for bacon & eggs, despite the egg separator image :o A few dabs while the pan is heating perhaps :P

I fell asleep in my recliner til 3 am and woke up in pain from the position...laptop still open to rotovacs :sleep:

I used that in my postdoc years. Solid unit, no electronics to go south on you.
I like it more than the fuller-featured ones we used in industry.

I kind of like this company, from what I can see of it. They have several used Buchi's for sale ranging from $175 up to $1000, and above. And I mean it says something that these Buchi's are 30 years old and many still work.

Seal prices are all over the place, from $10 to $100, depending on the model and availability, etc.

Are those all Büchi brand, or some other brands too? I would be very tempted to try the $10 ones so long as they fit the unit. Name-brand seals were an expensive gamble, so a cheaper gamble appeals to me.

So after contacting at least 4-5 companies that sell these cheap 2l rotovaps, (2 different styles i might add). I finally got a response, not from a seller, but a customer, regarding a replacement seal.

"I didn't get an extra one. I bought this around a year ago and it no longer holds a vacuum. I don't know what to do. I've checked all of my connections and nothing is broke. If anyone sees this comment and has any advice, I would appreciate it."

No the $10 were off brand, and the model also has a lot to do with it...some are pretty simple looking and others more complex.

Happy Monday...Looks like a wet week coming our way.

Maybe I can get some inside chores done...and I was thinking it's strange I haven't heard back from my accountant yet.

Or I could just as easily go back to bed for another hour.

Glad I'm not sick from covid shot #2...Just a sore arm again, so far anyways!!
