Re: Clean out @ work
Just wondering what all those short/long and in between size accelerator tubes were used for? Looks like you could have supplied a few dozen builders of ESLA projects. Some of us building ESLA (such as me) are in shock looking at that picture - just cruel (lol.)

each tube weighs around a hundred pounds or more due to the glass.
Shipping from here would be prohibitive.
There was an assortment of electron and ion type tubes in the mix, all were aluminium / pyrex glass construction with each tube designed for around 3MeV.
all gone now recyclers picked up the skip this morning.
I sympathise but there were no takers when advertised.

Re: Clean out @ work
I see your answer crossed my question... it still hurts.
I recently made a complete spot welder from things which were thrown away at my work, everything for free

Everywhere I worked had registered "trash". It was shreded.
Papers were shreded on the site. More like pulverized to dust.
