I had this pot fabricated by a friend and I made the double slide plate holder/seat out of walnut. There is a removable plate holder for the mercury pot and they have independent slides that interlock when the plate holder is on the pot then both slides are drawn to start development. The slides and pot are mild steel but the pot has been painted black and the mercury cup and slides are bare metal. The pot adjusts up and down and can be heated with a common spirit lamp. The base is a heavy steel slap the will prevent the unit from tipping. The mercury cup is a steel pipe cape permanently welded at the base and has a lid with a gasket to seal in the mercury inside the pot. The mercury cup is heated by a temperature controlled unit. It is fairly accurate and works well. I have been offered a chance to buy a much nicer unit and I don’t need two pots so pleas contact me if you are interested. It cost $500 to fabricate and the the temperature controller cost another $100. I will sell the pot and the temperature controller separately. I am asking $600 for both. It comes with a cap for the mercury cup with gasket, temperature controller, k-type thermometer and heating mantle. The pot will do whole plate as is and has never had mercury in the cup.
Send me a zip code for a shipping estimate.
