This pump was used in the lab of a scientist that worked for Cal-Tech and later the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. It has been tested and found to be in good condition with only wear commensurate with its age and use. We have other items including meteorites (iron and stoney) that we acquired as part of this gentlemen's estate. The meteorites were originally claimed by UCLA.
UCLA showed documentation that they did in fact belong to the school almost a 1/4 of a Century ago, but after almost a year's long investigation, it was determined that UCLA lost the right of ownership because of a failure to prosecute in a timely manner and subsequent'Abandonment of Claim'. Please inquire if meteorites are your bag. This sophisticated pump would be a great addition to any serious pro or semi-pro lab that required its capability.
