New cheap UK etchant tank... thoughts...

New cheap UK etchant tank... thoughts...

2005-11-20 by Kev Pearce (kevp.com)

Hi all,

Anyone in the UK seen/used/have opions on a new addition to the Maplin catalogue...

http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=45927&doy=20m11

Dims: 275 x 205 x 30mm

Includes air pump and heater for only £39.99...

Needs about 2L of etchant and etches in 4mins...

Downside is is says it's 120V so I'm guessing it a US item... but step down converters for the UK are cheap enough, power ratings permitting...

Anyone any thoughts...


Cheers

Kev/.

Certainly looks interesting if I didn't have something else ATM

I have several 280VA mains transformers around with standard (0-120,0-120)
mains primaries - could use one as an auto transformer
