They scored a $40K-plus environmental test chamber for just $1K at auction — and now Linus Media Group has two of these beasts. The catch? The original manufacturer is long gone, the unit hasn’t been powered on in over a decade, and it’s been soaking in a surplus yard outdoors. What started as a cheeky lowball bid quickly turned into a “box of problems” adventure.
