FS (UK) PCB UV & ETCH TANK [SOLD]

Post by exxos »

Up for grabs is my old PCB tank and UV box.. Used of course.

The UV box is possibly a early version of this one..

Mine is black.

Single sided UV, can fit about A4 on it (IIRC). I know it cost around £200 when new. Its been sat in the loft for like 15 years. Was working when last used but likely needs new tubes by now.

The Etch tank is a heated single bubble etch tank. Think cost around £250 when new. IIRC I fitted a new heater in it when last used (likey 15+ years ago). It probably needs a good clean up and unblocking etc.

Basically looks like this..

Probably only going to be useful to someone who wants to try their hand at oldskool technology or educational purposes etc.

Open to offers because I doubt I will be doing any handmade PCBs like this again. I will not post them because they will get destroyed and so will be collection only from the Uttoxeter / Staffordshire.

If anyone is generally interested I will get up in the loft and take some pictures of the actual units.

Cool. Have a think about how much you want for them and I'll be home in a week and can discuss 😁
