  1. Newest piece of gear: A 1960's East German #refractometer. The wrench for the calibration screw is missing (1.3 mm square key) and the union nut for the thermometer is a bit loose (M16 x 0.75 ?).

    Unfortunately Google turns up nothing in regards to spare parts, or even parts that could be simply converted without special tools I don't have.

    Using a pair of tweezers for calibration and lots of teflon tape on the thread works, though :)

  3. Alright, so I never did a proper #introduction.
    I'm a food chemist by trade, and love doing #chemistry at home (#sciencemadness bubble, where are you?). Also into #selfhosting, #punk & #synthesizers.

    Current projects (always too many): Learning ARM assembly and guitar, turning turpentine into nice smelling things, digitizing my #vinyl, exploring retro games.
