TL;DR
Linus Tech Tips scored a $40,000-plus environmental test chamber for just $1,000 in a surprise auction win. The catch? The manufacturer went bust years ago, the unit hasn’t been powered on in a decade and has been sitting outdoors in a surplus yard—so the LTT Labs team is bracing for a box full of mysteries (and probably dust, rust and wiring nightmares).
They’re now tasked with hauling it in, cracking it open and figuring out if it still lives or if it’s beyond repair. With no clear manual or spare parts, every step—from inspecting the cooling system to testing power—will be an adventure in improvisation and engineering problem-solving.
