Yes, it would make a great prop for a movie or for a mad scientist man cave. I have no doubt that one of our creative Austin cavers could get it working again LOL.
It probably cost well north of $100,000 when new and is now worth $35. For all you serious geeks out there, just to say, I’m rebuilding an electron microscope in the garage would be worth some cool points. Of course you’re never get a date. I asked Sue if I could get it and she said no.

They’re held across Texas but thought that folks may be interested in the auctions in Austin and Denton. In particular, if you’ve ever wanted to own an electron microscope, here is your chance. Bids are running around $35.00 and there is more than one. You can do your own covid tests by looking for the virus in your blood. There are also more than 800 bottles of vodka which would probably last a lifetime (or at least the life of your liver). More caving related (not that the vodka isn’t), but there are some map files, office files, desks, screens, drafting tables, scads of electronic equipment, chairs and other construction and deconstruction equipment, and fume hoods (in case you’re exceptionally gasses) that is for sale very cheap. Anyway, you can probably google slapsales or email me and I can forward you the link. Here is the links for some of the sales. https://www.slapsale.com/ss/?utm_medium=email&_hsmi=93637375&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--BlovGLtVpxcDQLnfpP-WLMiry6cA1VKu-4bENaCWReGuKGR1Q7UMD05bE7bo55aA3gpMHPk_yaNVl3Ddbin4O0jpleQl6KWyFt842FFEcjZnTuXM&utm_content=93637375&utm_source=hs_email#!/auctions?ilt=1&sid=40477<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.slapsale.com%2Fss%2F%3Futm_medium%3Demail%26_hsmi%3D93637375%26_hsenc%3Dp2ANqtz--BlovGLtVpxcDQLnfpP-WLMiry6cA1VKu-4bENaCWReGuKGR1Q7UMD05bE7bo55aA3gpMHPk_yaNVl3Ddbin4O0jpleQl6KWyFt842FFEcjZnTuXM%26utm_content%3D93637375%26utm_source%3Dhs_email%23!%2Fauctions%3Filt%3D1%26sid%3D40477&data=01%7C01%7Cgschindel%40edwardsaquifer.org%7C74aead6784aa493228f408d84558497b%7C5c22012be3bb4a79903b5ca9e5027fc5%7C0&sdata=xxsqJ74fj8%2B%2B7%2B2UY76aqyxHbjIEw4F5I%2BKawf0Sn68%3D&reserved=0> https://www.slapsale.com/ss/?utm_medium=email&_hsmi=93637375&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_2QsAZ1Xu0FfWYW2VOigWJG_tvBj5Usr3RXFm0tYiYxVGe9bf_3kGzUGui8VTAXKbulgQjvd2z0ZPyQcHRbLOvrYTRzAg2F7b4Le73RrkfnKgeJNk&utm_content=93637375&utm_source=hs_email#!/auctions?ilt=1&lid=Denton,%20%20Texas<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.slapsale.com%2Fss%2F%3Futm_medium%3Demail%26_hsmi%3D93637375%26_hsenc%3Dp2ANqtz-_2QsAZ1Xu0FfWYW2VOigWJG_tvBj5Usr3RXFm0tYiYxVGe9bf_3kGzUGui8VTAXKbulgQjvd2z0ZPyQcHRbLOvrYTRzAg2F7b4Le73RrkfnKgeJNk%26utm_content%3D93637375%26utm_source%3Dhs_email%23!%2Fauctions%3Filt%3D1%26lid%3DDenton%2C%2520%2520Texas&data=01%7C01%7Cgschindel%40edwardsaquifer.org%7C74aead6784aa493228f408d84558497b%7C5c22012be3bb4a79903b5ca9e5027fc5%7C0&sdata=WAkx%2BlL%2F7tHU4MwFtjM0B2AIes6sl7rHXMsVhn7oYwc%3D&reserved=0> https://www.slapsale.com/ss/?utm_medium=email&_hsmi=93637375&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-90VFQ5F3zMS4gZMg0zwysqfNLY1HtC09sp-WbnJ-1VV73gl6dRbaO7g9HP8-KTL_Ih-AApU2plYSa46946CzGaOUetrrGFiR5LxAoXor_zHR-5s1s&utm_content=93637375&utm_source=hs_email#!/auctions?ilt=1&sid=40479<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.slapsale.com%2Fss%2F%3Futm_medium%3Demail%26_hsmi%3D93637375%26_hsenc%3Dp2ANqtz-90VFQ5F3zMS4gZMg0zwysqfNLY1HtC09sp-WbnJ-1VV73gl6dRbaO7g9HP8-KTL_Ih-AApU2plYSa46946CzGaOUetrrGFiR5LxAoXor_zHR-5s1s%26utm_content%3D93637375%26utm_source%3Dhs_email%23!%2Fauctions%3Filt%3D1%26sid%3D40479&data=01%7C01%7Cgschindel%40edwardsaquifer.org%7C74aead6784aa493228f408d84558497b%7C5c22012be3bb4a79903b5ca9e5027fc5%7C0&sdata=cmhjCpqcmxpa78Yg1CMwtttliCYxptmEBaAZbn%2BmX3M%3D&reserved=0> Geary CAUTION: This email originated from outside UTSW.
