Homebrew PCBs

I may have lucked into something good.  I put out a post on our county
FreeCycle Yahoo group for a heat-type laminator.  It surprised me, but
I got a response.  I went over and picked it up last night (free, of
course; that's what FreeCycle is all about), and this thing is an old
GBC Model 418-LM roll-type laminator.  I haven't measured the rollers
yet because I didn't have anything handy that long.  They're probably
18 - 20 inches, and there are 3 rubber rollers and one heated metal
roller.  The rollers are about 2.5" in diameter.  Looking at the
rollers and the diagram on the back, it's possible to manually feed a
board straight through.  This machine must weigh about 50 pounds.  It
has a temperature control pot or rheostat on the back.

There are some large electrolytic capacitors on this thing, so when I
check it out, I'm going to bring it up slowly on a Variac.

I sent an email to GBC to see if they can send me some info from their
archives.

Cheers,
Ted
