I heard from the eBay seller on the damaged Rotavapor...He said "keep it, sorry". I just did surgery on it, and I could probably save it with some super glue and JB weld. It's cast aluminum so not a lot you can do really...or I can just sell it /keep it for parts . Interesting to see what makes it tick anyways, ands it is a very complex piece of equipment. I now see why new quality ones go for big $$$.

It's all in the wrist eh.
Years of practice :lol:

Epoxy is much stronger than cyanoacrylate. I’ve even rescued cleanly broken glassware with epoxy.

Does anyone know if the drums on those units are supported at both ends while in operation? All plastics get brittle with age and I didn't see any re-enforcement on the motorside of the box wall.
It looks like they are. Seems like it wouldn't take much to build one. I said for $100 we'd all want one, lol. It couldn't cost more than about $20 tops to make this. (plus brain power):lol:

Where's that pic of @doublejj 's cement mixer model...He just posted it a few weeks back!

I had one too it was call the Extraction Contraption. It was designed to fit onto a harbor freight cement mixer. Uses dry ice.
