They Scored a $40K+ Test Chamber for Just $1K

Linus accidentally snagged a massive environmental test chamber—worth over $40,000—for only $1,000 at auction. Now LTT Labs has two of these beasts, except the manufacturer’s long gone, it hasn’t powered on in a decade, and it’s spent years sitting outside in a surplus yard. Cue all the potential dust, rust, and surprise “uh-ohs.”

So what’s the plan? First: wrestle it through the door. Next: poke around to see if it’s water-cooled or just plain dead. Then, figure out how to actually fire it up and put it to use. In short: this “$1K gamble” might just become the wildest restoration project yet.
